Flower power was a slogan used by hippies in the late 1960s and early 1970s as a symbol of the non-violence ideology.
The "meeting place" for the Flower Power movement was based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands in a club called Paradiso.
Flower Power also included actions by teenagers, such as giving flowers to policemen and putting flowers inside guns and revolvers, as a sign of peace and not war.

And despite this being my first listen to the Flower Kings, other than a track here and there (the recent Genesis tribute The Fox Lies Down being one of them), I'm not surprised either, because I've read the comparisons, read the reviews.
So, I've been always meaning to check out what the Flower Kings were all about, but seeing the import prices, I thought I'd wait until the were released domestically - especially since there are so many great new labels out there releasing stuff on this side of the Atlantic.
Maybe my surprise is that this so unlike their brethren Anekdoten and Landberk - who tend to paint their musiscapes with darker colours - like the album cover, Flower Kings are bright greens, yellows, oranges, purples…psychedelic colours.
