Lanvall - Melolydian Garden [2005 Remaster] (1994)
 MP3 @ 320 - 122 MB | Low Qual. Covers included
Genre: Instrumental Virtuoso/Symphonic Progressive Rock


Melolydian Garden was German guitarist/composer Lanvall's (guitarist and main composer of the prog-metal band Edenbridge) 1994 all-instrumental solo debut, which finds him delivering melodic prog rock with symphonic leanings (featuring instrumentation such as flute, piano, keyboards, as well as guitar) that will definitely appeal to fans of the mellow side of Steve Hackett and Mike Oldfield. Together with Ulbi Ulbricht (bass) and Thomas Schaufler (drums), he offers the listener atmospheric and romantic music - painting with music. The title track impresses with its dominant clean guitar parts, while "Euphoria" recalls Malmsteen's "Rising Force". "Memory Lane" stands out with its melodic content, and "Sensitive" would surely rank as one of the album's high points. Two tracks are orchestral, with no guitar - "My Kingdom, My World" and "The Endless Trail Of Tears". What this is doing on a metal label like "Massacre Records" is way beyond comprehension!
