Instrumental, Swedish vocals
International relevance: ***
Second album from this technically
driven outfit, housed in a striking cover. During the two years that
passed since their debut they changed their rhythm section, with
Lerker Allgulander taking bassist Stefan Berggrenssons place, and
Henning Öfverbeck handing over his drum stool to Håkan Nyberg (who
later teamed up with Mikael Wiehe). It didn't change things for the
better Lotus' debut was a pretty boring effort, but this one is even
worse. It's tight and complex enough to get prog rock and fusion fans
going, but it bores me to death. It's all about show-off and
minutious precision. Their humour extends to an idiotic rock version
of Swedish children's song ”Bä bä vita lamm” (the only vocal track on the album). Too bad it's not
funny in the least. To make matters worse, the album was reissued on CD in 2004 with two
previously unreleased tracks.
