Astrakhan Retrospective CD

2013 release from the Swedish Prog Rock band. With love for Hard Rock and hatred of the genres conventions and standardization, the Schelander brothers began writing songs together many years ago. To write music together, simply for the love of writing, was an old Christmas tradition between the brothers. The winter breaks filled the house with Reggae, Samba, Rock and a lot of other songs in different genres. But in 2005 things got more serious. The goal was to write 10 songs, each with it's own identity but still naturally included in a collection of ten. One rule was that each song would have free reign to take the paths it wanted to. Like characters in a novel the songs would be able to travel their own ways and the composer's task was only to document it's path.
