Don't know if this band has any fans here on MR, but they have a new album due for release quite soon called "My Earth Dream".

Image

Tracklist:
1: THE FORCE WITHIN (1.05)
2: SHADOWPLAY (5.24)
3: PARAMOUNT (4.21)
4: UNDYING DEVOTION (4.36)
5: ADAMANTINE (6.10)
6: WHALE RIDER (4.13)
7: REMEMBER ME (3.38)
8: FALLEN FROM GRACE (4.43)
9: PLACE OF HIGHER POWER (5.05)
10: MYEARTHDREAM SUITE (FOR GUITAR AND ORCHESTRA) (6.47)
11: MYEARTHDREAM (12.37)

Samples can be heard http://www.edenbridge.org/ and http://www.myspace.com/edenbridge

I don't really know what to think of these new songs. It seems like a step in the modern direction and I don't think that's good for Edenbridge. A much as I like the new Nightwish and even new Within Temptation (to a lesser extent), I don't think this heavier sound works very well with Sabine's vocals and Lanvall's guitar style.

Speaking of Lanvall, he has a solo project in which he plays instrumental progressive rock. Samples can be found at Edenbridge's site and here's a full song:

Personally I think this song is awesome! Too bad it seems very hard to find his albums...

Great band (my favorite CD from them is 'Shine'), but a few people have told me their new one is a disappointment.

Full review was just published on Metal CD Ratings (by fellow colleague Sean):

Got one of their earlier cds but overall didn't do much for me so I swapped it. I usually like female fronted bands of this type maybe it just didn't click with me at the time.

Like my review stated, I feel that "Myearthdream" is a small step backwards for this band after two solid albums in "The Grand Design" and "Shine".

Looking around the net, the majority seem to agree with me

But you downloaded it so you aren't entitled to an opinion, obviously. :rolleyes:
