The Band's 1995 Debut Album On 2LP & CD!
Remastered & Partially Remixed Audio!

Swedish progressive rock legends The Flower Kings, and longtime label partners InsideOutMusic, will begin an extensive reissue campaign, which will see the entire catalogue of the band reissued on CD & vinyl in remastered editions, with many of the albums' being issued on wax for the first time. First up are 1995's Back In The World of Adventures & 1996's Retropolis, which both featured the lineup of Roine Stolt, Tomas Bodin, Michael Stolt, Jaime Salazar, Hasse Fröberg, Ulf Wallander and Hasse Bruniusson. They will be available as a gatefold 2LP+CD & LP booklet, both featuring remastered and partly remixed audio and expanded artwork and photo material from that period.

Roine Stolt's voice is strong, full, passionate, and delightfully accented. The Flower Kings' lyrics are heady, compelling, and hook city. The guitar work is extremely melodic and rates right up there with anything Brian May or David Gilmour has offered....Each piece is a rocking, swirling matrix of multifaceted sound, with the opening 'World of Adventures' a particular highlight. Take the best of Crack the Sky, Pink Floyd, early Genesis, and the slick cool pop/rock of Queen and Prince's 1999, mix everything together in the cauldron of Stolt's vision of world peace, and out comes a fresh batch of magic.
-John W. Patterson, AllMusic.com, 4/5 stars
