DVD Review: The Flower Kings - Meet The Flower Kings - Page 3

Some of the behind-the-scenes extras were interesting, but most were fairly bland. It doesn't help that only Swedish is spoken throughout, and even if you do understand the language, the dialog is usually barely audible. Unfortunately, the only audio mix provided is PCM stereo, but it is one of the best I have ever heard. Every instrument and vocal clearly stands out and is perfectly balanced in the mix. The video quality is also outstanding.

Overall, this is an impressive documentary of the music and musicianship of The Flower Kings. Some of the performances will make you shake your head in awe, especially the amazing playing of their new young drummer Zoltan Csörsz, who joined the band in 2002, just in time to play on the Unfold The Future album and this DVD. Watching him mess around on the skins during the behind the scenes footage was probably the most impressive stuff of all. Stolt was also at the top of his game, and his guitar playing has never been more dazzling. It's about time you meet The Flower Kings.
