The debut album from this duo from Sweden.
The line-up here was drums, percussion, bass, guitars, mandolin, harp, keyboards, clavinet, synths, organ and bassoon.
Two guests added oboe, flute and vocals.
This duo released two albums between 1996 and 2004 before they split up. Both of them based on Tolkien's books. Both of these albums are up for review this month.
Bilbo clocks in at one hour and five minutes.
The music is a blend of symphonic prog and folk rock.
This is also a concept album with some neo-classical music too.
The sound and music are folky with some female and male vocals and choirs. There are also some woodwinds in addition to the usual keyboards and guitars.
Some of the music is good and some of the music is decent. I am not won over by this album....
2.5 points
