Об альбоме (сборнике)

Grand Illusion are from Sweden and are poised to astound everyone with their debut album, it is a masterpiece of melody with great songs and tight musicianship. The name Grand Illusion may well be a new one to most people even though it conjures up visions of Stygian pomposity, but the members of the band are well rehearsed in making great music. They were formerly known as Promotion and have released two albums under that name; Not For Sale in 1997 and Yeah, Yeah in 1998; both on their own label Promotion. These two albums were recorded on a tight budget, but their quality shone through at an early stage, as they were well favoured in the eyes of both magazine reviewers and fans of Swedish melodic rock.
Grand Illusion have matured a hundred fold in the last couple of years and will earn your respect very early in the album. The success of the song-writing formula is down to the Rydholm/Karlsson team, of which the former is responsible for the music, arranging, and the majority of the instruments, whilst the latter writes the lyrics. The icing on the cake is the majestic vocal work of Peter Sundell, ably assisted by Per Svensson, and the well-executed drumming of Peter's younger brother Christian.
Opening Track Feeling Strangely Fine sets the wheels in motion and bounces along on a marvellous hook, twisting and turning to suit the amazing vocal pitch of Peter Sundell. The sound is so fresh and appealing and you will be in love with Grand Illusion after just one spin. Track two, I don't wanna know, amps up the beat and sees the band settling for a straight-ahead melodic punch that hits you full in the face. Fans of such Swedish bands as Dalton and Treat will immediately realise the quality of Grand Illusion; this is Scandinavian melody at its best. As one classy song follows another throughout the album, it is impossible to find a weakness in the band, they are at home with both rockers and ballads, the harmonies of Sundell and Svensson hit the mark every time. The balladry on Parachute has a certain passion that smacks of Europe in their heyday, but let us not forget the ripping guitar breaks from Anders Rydholm, who also provides keyboards and bass on the album to maximum effect. Just check out songs like Crazy from the heat and Boys Last Night Out for evidence!
Grand Illusion are here and are ready to seduce you with their own brand of Scandinavian melodic rock.
