The fourth album from this band from Sweden.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
I reviewed their first three albums some three years ago in # 3 of this blog and liked them a lot. The first two albums were in the Scandinavian symph prog vein. Their third album was more of an art-rock album.
Panorama is clocking in at three quarters of an hour and the music is a blend of art-rock and old hard rock.
There is still some pretty obvious Kaipa influences in their music too.
The ambience and sound are very much the 1970s hard rock sound.
The music is also melodic and elegant.
The major piece of music here is the twenty-two minutes long opening track Above The Continuum which is a fine piece of epic art-rock.
The rest of the album is also good. This album is not as good as I thought it would be based on their first three albums and the reviews I have so far read. This is still a good album and one to check out.
