Flower Kings Miracle

Indisciplined Lucy is a neo Progressive band from Sweden (Uppsala, just like The Flower Kings!), also the second line up signed by the RectAngular label. Both aspects of the band are treated equally, and the electric side isn't much present as its classical counterpart. "About The Black Eyed Girl" is a theatrical concept album recorded in 1999, that shows competent musicians, diverse instrumentation (Violin, cello, percussions…) and Pelle Lindroth's expressive singing. If you missed something from the story, you just have to know that the lyrics are all printed in the booklet, along with some suggestive photographs. You can now follow the mysterious adventures of Alladin the Clown and his muse.

Hands are one of those prog bands that originated in the 70's during the 'classic boom' of prog, but never actually made much of a name for themselves except in underground circles, which is really a shame considering just how solid their material is. As you make your way through "Strangelet", you can hear the occasional influence of such acts as Gentle Giant, Yes, King Crimson, Kansas, and Jethro Tull pop up here and there, which should surprise no one if you've loved the band's self-titled debut from 1977 or the follow-up collection Palm Mystery, yet there are also some modern sounds creeping in that might remind you of current acts like The Tangent or The Flower Kings…
