Isildurs Bane Mind vol 1 progressive CD
Featuring new artwork by Matti Engdahl, Mind Vol. 1 is the first in Isildurs Bane reissue campaign.
 
Mind Vol. 1 was originally released in 1997 to great acclaim and signalled a new direction in IB's development with the arrival of percussionist Klas Assarsson - who is heavily featured on marimba, vibraphone and percussion.
 
With its rich and detailed production, the album presents an ambitious and intricate fusion of Chamber/Art music and Rock.
 
Including the Zappa-esque five part suite The Flight Onward, the movingly melodic The Pilot and the dark Ambient Prog of Holistic Medicine, Mind Vol 1 is a perfect soundtrack for a movie yet to be made.
