Torben
Enevoldsen is a busy and productive musician, and now it is time for a new
selection of songs that fit the Section A mould, this time more straight
forward and less progressive, focus this time is more on melody and a faster
pace. Centre of attention is still Torben's guitar playing and especially his
lead work, which is up to par with his earlier work.
Torben has
taken care of the majority of things again, he plays guitars, bass and
keyboards, has produced and mixed the album, holding a firm grip on things. All
the songs were composed and arranged by him, while vocalist Andy Engberg has
written the lyrics together with Conny Welén. The album also introduces a new
drummer: Thomas Heintzelmann and Lasse Finbråten (Circus Maximus) contributes
with a keyboard solo on "Land of the Desert Sun".
"Sacrifice"
is another flawless performance from the hands of Torben Enevoldsen - but I do
think his bands are getting a bit too similar and harder to pick apart. A great
production and cool artwork adds this a solid piece of music, but it is not up
there with "Parallels Lives", which I still believe marks his artistic zenith.
Fans know
what to expect, the real surprise is sadly absent.
