Agropelter - The Book of Hours CD Digipack

Agropelter is a progressive rock project from Norway. It is the creative outlet of Kay Olsen, a new contender on the blossoming norwegian prog scene. The music lends as much inspiration from the classic prog groups like Genesis, Camel, King Crimson and Eloy, as it does from classic composers Rachmaninoff, Beethoven, Bach along with Vangelis and Terje Rypdal. On the debut album you can expect lots of Mellotron, Hammond organs, ARP, cembalo, Minimoogs and Taurus bass pedals. Kay Olsen have played all guitars, bass, church organ, and keyboard leads. Also contributing is Jonas Reingold (Steve Hackett, The Flower Kings, Kaipa, Karmakanic) on fretless bass, Mattias Olsson (Änglagård, White Willow, Molesome) on percussion, vintage synth overdubs and atmosphere, Andreas Sjøen (Umpfel, VÅDE, Sean Ashe) on drums along with lots of classical musicians on various strings and woodwinds. The record is mixed and mastered by the great Jacob Holm-Lupo (White Willow, Donner, Solstein)
