1997 release ** "2nd full-length by our favourite outfit from the Southern coast of Norway. They shifted their musical direction forward to structures in the vein of early 70's progressive mellotronic space rock while still keeping their "traditional" psychedelic influences. On side 1 TSOI take us into a floral fairyland: a 25-min. long conceptual suite in 5 parts where the music ranges from meditative raga rock bliss with sitar to percussive trance rock elements to a meadow symphony and electronic interludes. Brilliant and breathtaking, richly instrumentated and melodic, spacy rock tracks with superb vocal harmonies and a progressive/folk feel throughout on side 2, tinged by influences of 60's "Beautiful Balloon" and Canterbury Scene. All lyrics by fantasy/romantic authors (Lord Dunsany, Mary Cicely Barker, Michael Moorcock etc.). 8-page digipack with artwork by Gunhilde Langerud and Bumble B."
