  14. Introducing the Flower Kings to you @AndreG. In 1994, guitarist Roine Stolt released a solo album entitled The Flower King. Stolt, who had already been active in the band Kaipa in the 1970s, took up classic progressive rock with The Flower King. For the recording of the album Stolt gathered around him a small band of musicians. Since The Flower King received good reviews, Stolt and his fellow musicians decided to form a band. This was named The Flower Kings in reference to Stolt's solo work. In the years that followed, The Flower Kings became one of the most popular bands in the genre internationally.After a five-year hiatus - the musical head of the band, Roine Stolt, worked in the meantime on the projects Transatlantic and Agents of Mercy - two more albums of the band were released in 2012 and 2013. As a retro-prog band, the Flower Kings tie in with the classic progressive rock of the 1970s. Their special orientation is symphonic rock with jazz influences. Characteristic of the band's sound are high bass runs, prog-typical keyboard sounds such as Mellotron and Hammond organ, and the frequent use of meditative passages in the compositions.The track Stardust We Are from the album of the same name is seen by many fans as a highlight of the Flower Kings' creative work and is also considered a live classic of the band. A prominent role in the repertoire of the band also takes the suite Garden of Dreams from the album Flower Power, which with its playing time of one hour clearly exceeds the average long track format. The double album Unfold the Future, with its clear Yes references and jazz influences, was also very well received in fan circles. This is the Album " Retropolis " / 1996 / Sony Music Label / Printed in Holland
