AGENTS OF MERCY
New project - New Album

On March 7th 2009, Foxtrot Music released a brand new album "The Fading Ghosts Of Twilight" - by the new project called AGENTS OF MERCY.
The album is a LTD edition Digipack with 77 minutes of brand new music. Agents Of Mercy is a project spawned from a "low key" acoustic project that Roine Stolt set out to do in 2008, but after getting singer Nad Sylvan (Unifaun) onboard to do a few "guest vocals" it turned into a full production prog album where Nad got more involved and did most of both lead and backing vocals on the album.
Songs got longer and vocal arrangements more elaborated and more symphonic and the common love of late 60's and early 70's prog and artrock is all over this album.
A few favourite drummers tracked for the 12 songs, Pat Mastelotto (King Crimson, XTC, Mr Mister, Stickmen etc.) Zoltan Csörsz (TFK, Karmakanic) and Jimmy Keegan (Santana, Spocks Beard Live) the eccentric Biggo Zelfries did most of the piano, violin and analogue keyboards and TFK bassist Jonas Reingold added some fretless bass spice too.
A cluster of artful influences ranges from The Beatles, Queen, ELO, (early)
Genesis, Supertramp, CSN&Y, Klaatu, The Move, Pink Floyd, XTC, Claude Debussy, (early) Bowie.

Silas Toball (www.silastoball.com) did the mysterious artwork for us and the album is mixed by agent Stolt at Cosmic Lodge as usual.
