Prog icons The Flower Kings are pleased to announce that their back catalogue will be reissued by InsideOut Music over the course of 2022 & 2023 in brand new remastered CD editions, and in some cases for the first time ever on vinyl. The first two releases to see the light of day will be “Back In The World Of Adventures” and “Retropolis” which will both be released on the May 27, 2022 as Limited CD Digipak, Gatefold 180g 2LP + CD + LP-booklet & as Digital Album. Both records have been remastered & partially remixed, with updated artwork and liner notes from Roine Stolt.
Roine comments: “I’ve been living life in the fast lane for a long time as far as releases with The Flower Kings and all my other bands and projects – but it’s been both a real joy and a sobering experience re-visiting the early Flower Kings years and early albums. I remember once again what I set out to do in the mid 90’s – Symphonic progressive rock with a clear melodic and sometimes ’folky’ vibe – a Swedish tone – colored by all things progressive and influenced by my teenage years listening habits. Hearing Focus, Frank Zappa, Yes, Tomita, Gentle Giant and Weather Report etc. back then, opened up a world of possibilities. Remixing some of these songs, for the reissues, took me back and made it even more fun to start work on and include a big chunk of this in our live set. We are now truly heading back to the world of musical adventures.”
