The best of Bo Hansson's albums, and one of the few progressive rock instrumental recordings that still holds up on repeated listening. J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy provide the inspiration for a series of strange, other-worldly tracks that transcend their source material. Hansson's keyboard playing is quite unlike the work of such rivals as Keith Emerson or Rick Wakeman, less heavy and "gothic" and more oriented toward jazz. His guitar work as is flashy and aggressive as his keyboards ("The Black Riders/Flight to the Ford" is a great showcase for both), and the backing by sax, flute, and drums creates an overall rich sonic palette.
Review, allmusic.com
Wonderful. This recording gets so much closer to the spirit of JRR Tolkien's work than any other piece of music, without attempting to be too "illustrative". It is a highly personal interpretation, and one feel's that Bo Hansson is in tune with the mood of his Nordic roots and nature, whilst fusing with the jazz genre of the 1970s. Hansson's greatest work could only have been written in that most experimental of decades.
Light a single candle. Turn on "Lord of the Rings" in a nearly dark room. And enjoy.
