Mats Ek

After some 400 years, it is time to reverse the title of the world's greatest love story and to consider the plot from a fresh angle. Which is exactly what distinguished Swedish choreographer Mats Ek has done. By beginning the account from Juliet's perspective and focusing on her actions and emotions, not only are things turned upside down but it also marks a return to the source of one of the most famous plays in world literature. Juliet & Romeo is Mats Ek's first narrative ballet since 1997, and the music comprises a collection of excerpts from Tchaikovsky's well-known compositions selected by the choreographer.

Return, after a ten-year silence, sensational, at the time, with their debut album, the Swedish band "Alien". In 2004, Tony Borg (guitar) and Jim Jidhed (guitar, vocals) decided to shake the old days, recruited a new line-up and recorded the killer album “Dark Eyes”. The disc turned out to be an illustration for the article “melodic pop / hard rock” in the music encyclopedia. Sticky melodies, a couple of touching, sweet ballads with female names, melodic guitar solos, numerous backing vocals, soft keys that don't get lost against the background of other instruments, and pleasant emotional vocals with a slight rasp - something between Coverdale, Phil Mogg and Tony Carrey. Although he is not so powerful, Jim copes with the work for five plus. One of the best albums of 2005. And some recognized him as the best.
