Synopsis

Product Description

Edenbridge fans will immediately recognize the signature sound of mastermind and guitarist Lanvall, who once again proves impressively capable of combining musical sophistication with catchy melody lines on "Solitare". The musical foundation is crowned by Sabine Edelsbacher, whose singular voice carries the diverse compositions to new heights. The end result is a muliti-faceted kaleidoscope of heavy metal songs ("Solitaire", "Further Afield") and power ballads ("Skyline's End") that through the prominent use of violins and beautiful vocal lines bring back strong memories of Loreena McKennitt.

CD Reviews

Decent

E. Scott | 07/04/2010

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Solitaire has some good tracks; I'd put the top three as the title track, Higher, and Skyline's End. Beyond that, several of the songs feel like they're trying to be interesting but just not quite succeeding. My Earth Dream, the previous album, was spectacular, and Edenbridge understandably had a difficult time reaching the high standard they had set with that album. Lyrically, Solitaire is still interesting, but musically it is just a little boring at times. It's not a bad album, and fans of Edenbridge will probably enjoy it, but I would say it is a step below My Earth Dream. All in all, I recommend it to fans of Edenbridge, as it has some stand out tracks, but people new to the band may get a better introduction to them by starting with My Earth Dream or even Grand Design."
