THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA-"Aeromantic"

THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA-"Aeromantic"

 

Third time luck, charm, whatever you may want to call it, but NFO nailed it down perfectly. This side project tends to outshine the original band (SOILWORK) with their mix of high octane AOR and proggy touches. For fans of Graham Bonnet RAINBOW but also middle era KANSAS,STYX,TORONTO, 747 ans early 80s synth pop,this album sounds like heaven on earth. Melodies overflowing, bursting like big bang explosions out of nowhere. 

Majestic keyboards that reminds me HUMAN LEAGUE and STYX at the same time, West Coast touches and songwriting that we haven't listened from the glory days of Lane and Desmond Child or shall i say Jim Steinman. This band has turned in to a monster that cant stop delivering melodic masterpieces,addictive as heroin for the believers,Islam for the fundamentalists. Everything is in the right place in this masterpiece of pop oriented FM Rock. Female backing vocals,keyboards, heavy guitars to remind the band members of their sinful metal past. 

If GHOST brought the BOC spirit of volatility to music, than NFO brought the real essence of music back to 00s, fun and sensational pleasure of the sounds. For music lovers who want to have a night out at the disco without selling their rock collection.
