Veteran Swedish progressive rockers The Flower Kings will release the first part of a career spanning boxset titled ‘A Kingdom of Colours (1995-2002)’ on the 15th December 2017, covering the period starting with ‘Back in the World of Adventures’ to ‘Unfold the Future’ over the course of 10 discs.
A brand new interview with band leader Roine Stolt was conducted for the release by journalist Dom Lawson (The Guardian, Prog Magazine), giving a history of this period of the band’s existence.
The collection will also include the newly remixed and remastered version of ‘Unfold The Future’, which will be issued on vinyl for the first time on the 3rd November 2017 in a gatefold triple 180g vinyl package (include the album on double CD). Stolt comments: “For this re-release I have carefully remixed “The Truth Will Set You Free”, “Devil’s Playground” and “Black & White” – it wasn’t easy to find, or even remember, where all files resided. These remixes (more than one hour worth of music) are, as I see it, more detailed and better balanced – where I found this album to be painfully brutal, overly compressed and rough in the original 2002 mix, at times.” The entire album has been also remastered in 24bit/96khz, features liner notes from Stolt and still is a highly diverse stylistic journey that now can be rediscovered in its ultimate edition.
