Lion Music\/Warner<\/p>\n
Guitarist and band leader of INFINITY OVERTURE, is the position NIELS VEJLYT normally holds. But here he unleashes his guitar, and throws in a facts and instructional DVD. After years as an on-line guitar instructor this album may seem overdue. But to display his ability he has enlisted some of the best backing musicians available. Or what about bass players like Kris Gildenl\u00f6w (PAIN OF SALVATION) and Bernardo Fesch, drummer Jacob Vand of INFINITY OVERTURE and one piano guest spot for Mads Damgaard. <\/p>\n
The surprisingly low key and clean sounding \u201cHeads Up\u201d opens the album. Niels sports a very warm and almost un-metal sounding sound, but still teasing. I expected more like \u201cDie Today\u201d, a heavier tracks that brings the early work of TONY MACALPINE to my mind. But as the eastern mysticism om \u201cRain\u201d evolves, I realize that Niels has massive potential. I remember hearing old Shrapnel albums actually. The oddly arranged \u201cMeteors\u201d is so progressive that the bass almost gets lost in its own pattern. The melody has outstanding depth and there is so much atmosphere and a catching coolness. The same masterful touch goes for album closer \u201cWinter\u201d. Bernardo\u00b4s bass work is a pleasure, the acoustic opening soft and alluring, all-in-all a prime example of how to make the complicated accessible. IF that would have been the complete story of this album I would have marked it album of the century. There is the less inspired \u201cSamurai\u201d with its double guitar patterns, and \u201cKajsa\u201d, which feels like a piano embellished slightly heavier version of track one, but as a whole Niels lands in well over average. Like a computer programme he and his ensemble make the complex available for all ears most of the time. This will be an instrumental album to talk about, even though it has an inch to improve. <\/p>\n
