The New Grove Project biography
Recorded in Switzerland with Roine Stolt (FLOWER KINGS) on guitar and Par Lindh (PLP) on keys. "Fool's Journey" is a folowup to the NGP's Demos a 1994 limited release (300 copies) of Hjertqvist's music written in 1984. Hjertqvist formed up some band lineups to re-do this music and this recording is a band of stars - Roine Stolt (The FLOWER KINGS), Pär Lindh (Pär Lindh Project) and Jode Leigh (England).
A concept album, it tells a cheerfully apocalyptic story of "A Fool's Journey" to another planet. The music lacks the edge of some progressive rock, but makes up for it with a sunny melodicism derived in part from vintage GENESIS. An interesting project that will surely evolve in the future.
