Dan Swano is one seriously versatile musician Dan plays every single instrument on this album and plays them all extremely well. The drum fills are excellent, especially in "Sun of the Night." Distorted and Electric guitar playing has awesome riffs and solos. Piano melodies and solos add color and contrast between heavy parts. The most important is the Mellotrons, flowing in every song between the vocals and electric guitars. Since most of the vocals do not have melody of their own, they act more as rhythm with the mellotrons under the voice giving it melody. The few clean vocal parts are very nice, I wasn't expecting any.
One could say that the album created under the bandname of Dan Swanö was the next Edge Of Sanity album. But since Dan left that band, he created the album 'Moontower' by himself, an album that is generally considered to be one of the best albums he participated on.
Description of the music in Dan`s own words is "if Rush played Death Metal in the 70s".
Everything on this album was created by Dan Swanö
Recorded & mixed in The Sanctuary, April 1998
