		Indigo "Reach Out" (TBA,2008) Producer: Frippe Eliasson Genre: AOR Format: Album Website: www.indigosite.net Reviewed by: Ola Gr�nshagen Add to MySpace Add to Facebook

Time for one more new promising Swedish band on the AOR scene. The band is called INDIGO and this 5-piece consists of guys between 22 and 23 of age. So this is a young act and it feels even more than just �promising�. The biography states that they sound like TOTO and at times like GIANT. I totally agree on the TOTO matter, whereas the GIANT moments aren�t that many in my opinion. However, that�s not making it worse at all. Remember the Swedish band FATAL ATTRACTION? They delivered 2 albums of high class Christian AOR (yeah, and also a 4 track release). Just like FATAL ATTRACTION, there�s a lovely melancholy in the music of INDIGO�s. Sometimes I think of ASIA, and in �Not Prepared� I even think of Canadian top act BOULEVARD! If you like the debut CD by Swedish act XINEMA you�ll like this too. Thanks to the lead vocal of Michael Olofsson there also a vibe of JOHN WAITE and BAD ENGLISH at times; like in �I�m free� for instance. I�d even go as far as saying �Open Your Eyes� reminds me a lot of JOURNEY meets TOTO. As for the TOTO elements; you can hear from the rhythm arrangements that TOTO are highly appreciated by these guys. Maybe it�s a bit TOO obvious, I�d say.

I guess you�re beginning to get it. This band is something to check up! In some ways they�re still a diamond in the rough, like the lead vocal for example. The full sharpness isn�t there yet, but there should be a lot more to come in time. The production by Frippe Eliasson (WALKINLIGHT) is warm and rich and bears a lot of what all the 80�s fans can wish for. This is a very fine debut.
