""Fold es eg" is a very enjoyable album yet it lacks the connection between the songs and the atmosphere as "overground music" and "the insulted and injured" .BUT - do not mistake by believing that this is a bad album , this is still After Crying and you can never miss that special style . the beginning is great and kinda slows down as the tracks continues until you reach the final track and - WAOW! the last track is one of the most atmospheric and inspiring song I heard,ever! worth it all."

"Fold Es Eg" is an Adventure

"For me, "Fold Es Eg" is an adventure. I hadn't heard of After Crying before this album, but having listened to it, I knew I wanted to learn more about this band. There's a multitude of acoustic elements, exciting melodies and a wide variety of moods in this album. The sounds have been captured well - there is good amount of warmth and space here (don't know if this is true with later albums).The album start is a "hats-off" to early Emerson, Lake & Palmer, but as the album develops further, the music gets more original. The piano has a leading role in many pieces, and the use of acoustic instruments give the album some timeless feel. The final track is amazingly beautiful - it leaves you wanting more.Best listening time: late at night!"

Apart from the idea of the keyboardist to emulate Emerson...

"Well apart from the idea of the keyboardist to emulate Emerson,"Rondo" is a very faithful and honest recreation of the famous piece by Nice !! Instead "Manticore" is the combination of the "Emerson bombastic style" with the vocal airy melody, this one being anyway pleasant; nevertheless "Leltàr" features a Gregorian Mood, which is the most interesting and less derivative part of the album !! Besides the solemn atmosphere created by the trumpet in the track "Puer natus in Bethlehem", is another typical A.C. trademark ...finally the closing section of the 13 minutes "Kètezer èv", which grows in dynamics and intensity as well, as long as they almost reach the perfection!!Recommended !!"
