	ROINE STOLT - FLOWER KINGS
		I was fortunate to be able to see Roine Stolt and the Flower Kings [whose original CDs are reviewed elsewhere in these pages] live at a local venue, the Phantasmagoria, in Wheaton, Maryland, on September 8th, 1998.
		Stolt of course was the star of the show, making his guitar sing ringingly and anthemically.
		That album was a solo project for Stolt, and did not use the same lineup of musicians who were formed to be the band, The Flower Kings (although Froberg contributed vocals, and Jaime Salazar was the drummer).

	Alt.Culture.Guide Interview: Roine Stolt of the Flower Kings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Formed ten years ago in Sweden by veteran musician Roine Stolt, and having released an abundance of material — some studio records are actually double albums — the Flower Kings were the flag wavers for the return of prog-rock in the mid-90s.
		Stolt now speaks lot of other motivations that keep the Flower Kings going at their busy pace as well as the basic planning stages to make a record.
		Stolt explains that his signing with Inside Out Music was one of necessity, having released his records at first on his own label.

	Flower Kings (English) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Roine Stolt (born in Uppsala, Sweden on September 5, 1956), the band leader, as well as all the members of the Flower Kings have their music roots in listening to Yes, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Genesis, King Crimson or Procol Harum.
		Roine Stolt has been a musician without any musical education therefore it is no wonder that his compositions originate from his own feelings and they are full of heartfelt sensitivity.
		The following first live double album "Alive on Planet Earth" appeared, while Roine Stolt, the band leader, was touring as a member of the super four-musician band Transatlantic - with Neal Morse from Spock's Beard (he left the band in 2002), Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater and Pete Trewavas from Marillion.

	VRI: The Flower Kings - Live 9/8/01 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In the first moments the band took the stage you could see that this was a band with a delightful sense of humor as leader, guitarist and song writer Roine Stolt explained his dislike of tuning devices.
		After finshing the opening number, Roine teasingly announces that the next song is the last one, the humor being that "Garden of Dreams" happens to be a 59 minute song.
		Roine Stolt has a quiet unassuming air about him, but he solos with a deep passion, making for highly emotional, stirring solos.

	InsideOut Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Roine Stolt, guitar player and vocalist from Swedish prog rock icons The Flower Kings, is a true workaholic.
		Stolt is obviously very deeply rooted in this era as evidenced by his words, “I still love the smell of a Fender amp which has been running for a while”.
		Once again, Stolt proves to be a master of the strings, as he conjures the memory of former greats Peter Green, Jimi Hendrix, Robin Trower and Frank Zappa.

		Roine is really kicking ass on this one, more so than on the Flower Kings songs I've heard, and on a par with his work in Transatlantic.
		Roine Stolt joined the band as a teenager, and remained until the early 80's to pursue a solo career.
		Roine Stolt is arguably in a period of greatest production, and his guitar-ing is top notch.

	ROINE STOLT Hydrophonia review and MP3
		Although you may not hear his name mentioned in the same frame of reference as a Page or Clapton, Roine Stolt is without any doubt one of the best guitarists to ever pick up the instrument.
		Because his music is not mainstream, his popularity is not on the level that it should be, but believe me, he belongs in the upper echelon of great musicians of the last decade, and surely beyond as he continues to blaze a path for all of those that yearn to follow his legacy.
		Stolt is an exceptional virtuoso that plays hard to formulate adventurous naturally rocking melodies.

	THE FLOWER KINGS!! - ROINE STOLT - TOMAS BODIN - KAIPA - THE TANGENT - SUPER-PROG!! SWEDISH PROGRESSIVE ROCK - ...
		Bodin is not alone however, he's joined by familiar pals Roine Stolt on guitar, Jaime Salazar on drums, and newcomer Owe Eriksson on most of the bass duties (Roine and his brother Michael also kick in some bass work for the album).
		Stolt REALLY shines in the middle of Bodin's brilliant 17-minute epic "Three Stories," counterbalancing Bodin's beautiful piano work with some incredibly emotional guitar work that seems to patch directly to your soul (as Stolt's work often does).
		It looked like in Roine Stolt I had finally found a present day "yin" for Robert Fripp's "yang." Alive on Planet Earth is a double CD - the first disc was recorded live during their 1998 North American tour, and the second was captured from their 1999 tour in Japan.

	ROINE STOLT The Flower King review and MP3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		— You may know Roine Stolt as the leader and guitar player of The Flower Kings, even though he has a rich and storied past in music since the 70's.
		Stolt is another one of those legendary guitar maestros that started off playing the bass, which seems to be more common than not in the development of any artist that plays the six-string.
		Stolt is not only the consummate professional and leader of one of the most successful prog-rock bands in the world; he has the talent and vision to create music that is able to stand on its own merit without any reflection on previous collaborations or projects.

	CMT.com : The Flower Kings : Biography
		That year, guitarist/singer/composer Roine Stolt, who enjoyed relative European fame in the 1970s as a member of the Swedish progressive rock band Kaipa, brought together ex-Jonas Hellborg drummer Jaime Salazar and ex-Samla Mammas Manna percussionist Hasse Bruniusson to record a solo album, The Flower King.
		Stolt's music was graced by a Jon Anderson-like aura and combined complex structures with catchy heartfelt melodies and the prog fans welcomed the album with open arms.
		Roine brought in brother Michael Stolt (bass, vocals) and longtime friend Tomas Bodin (keyboards) to perform the material live and thus the Flower Kings were born and The Flower King, the album, is now usually perceived as the band's first.

	FlowerPower - Interviews - Kaipa interview with Hans Lundin, Roine Stolt and Patrik Lundström (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		So Roine and I discussed this, and a few days later we decided to use the name Kaipa again, considering this as a trademark for the content of the album, as well as a good way to nudge it into the Kaipa limelight, and getting more people to hear it.
		Roine, who already had two bands to write songs for and play with, agreed to reuse the name Kaipa and thought this a good solution, in spite of his lack of input to the actual compositions as he obviously had hands full with his own successful projects anyway.
		Through his way of playing, Roine contributed much to what was the Kaipa sound and came also with valuable input during the final arrangement and mixing stage.

	Transatlantic Live In America CD Review
		Some revealing as per Roine Stolt's "You didn't expect a live album so soon - I didn't for sure!" however, they all seem to agree that of all that mini tours gigs, this was the best.
		Stolt plays musical games throughout slinging quotes from 'Eleanor Rigby' and to hilarious results, 'The Sound Of Music' into his guitar breaks.
		Stolt puts a lot more emotion into his performance and mix of the track.

	ROINE STOLT The Flower King reviews and MP3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		A solo album from the guitar virtuoso Roine Stolt set my expectations high, and when I listened to this album, The music exceeded my expectations and is my favourite Flower Kings album for now!.
		But one important fact to remember is that Stolt is the only composer of this work and takes care of all guitar, bass, keyboard and lead vocal work.
		Stolt's performance, not only as a guitarist, but also as a bassist and on the keyboards is extremely well done.

	The Flower Kings
		Instead, it is actually the first solo effort from songwriter Roine Stolt, who had long been a veteran of the prog scene by this point (going back into the 70's with his days in the obscure Swedish group Kaipa).
		Sure, Stolt does do all the songwriting and a vast majority of the playing, but he's pretty much in complete control of the band throughout their history anyway (apart from a Tomas Bodin number here and there), so it makes logical sense that the album should be placed here.
		Unfortunately, Stolt's bothersome obsession with his method of filling nearly an entire CD with every song he's written becomes apparent even here, as the album is 70 minutes long.

	Prog4you.com - Progressive Rock Review The Flower Kings - Unfold The Future
		Since then, though, Stolt has launched on a searing campaign of self-examination that has resulted in the deconstruction and reconstruction of the band.
		While it is impossible to talk about The Flower Kings without talking about Roine Stolt, it is easy to forget that in addition to being the primary writer, guitarist and one of the lead vocalists – he also is the band’s producer.
		As Stolt’s guitar soars in the final outro, floating over Reingold’s bass, the realization takes hold: these are not two different creatures.

	MSJ - Transatlantic-The Bridge Across Forever
		The songwriting is more collaborative (in fact, three of the four songs are credited to Transatlantic and not by band member's names), and the end result is an album that deserves the listener's attention but will not fail to reward.
		The personnel on this album are: Neal Morse, grand piano, Hammond organ, Mini-Moog, Rhodes piano, synthesizer, vocals, additional guitars and mandolin; Mike Portnoy; Drums and vocals; Roine Stolt, Electric and acoustic guitars, vocals, Mellotron, additional keyboards and percussion; and Pete Trewavas, Warwick bass, Taurus bass pedals, and vocals.
		Stolt gets a slightly understated solo, then a Pink Floydian saxophone takes the lead.

	DPRP Reviews - 2004 - Volume 57
		Perhaps it was Roine Stolt's voice that put me off (I have never been a fan of The Flower Kings or Transatlantic or seemingly anything that Stolt has been involved with, until The Tangent came along that is!).
		These are strongly delivered by Roine Stolt, who takes the lead vocal here, and does a very fine job; in fact I’ve rarely heard his voice utilised so well — it fits the material like a glove.
		Having so many vocalists in the group (Tillison, Stolt, Baine and Manning all provide lead vocals at some point or another) adds to the variety, although Tillison is arguably the best of the bunch and does sterling work on this very enjoyable track.

		Roine Stolt: It was back in 1993 and I had a strong urge to record a prog rock album again, just like I did in the late 70's, and perhaps to start a prog band.

	DPRP CD Reviews - 1999 - Flower Kings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Roine Stolt has created his own style of composing and playing guitar without repeating himself.
		Roine himself told that Hydrophonia would be more experimental than his Flower Kings albums but afterwards Hydrophonia turns out to be a total instrumental album with a lot of feeling and melodie.
		Roine Stolt made an album that can beat the high level of Flower Kings albums.

	Transatlantic CDs
		This is a Roine Stolt number and it begins with banks of orchestration and Stolt's charmingly accented voice leads the way into the piece.
		Roine Stolt's voice gives this a gentle softness contrasting strongly with Morse's version which, in comparison, appears to almost bounce along.
		Neal Morse and Roine Stolt seem to have had lot of market presence of late, and now we have yet another live album featuring the partners in crime.

	Prog4you.com - Progressive Rock Review - Kapa - Keyholder
		Featuring a baby faced seventeen year old Roine Stolt on guitar (from its third album onward) and the keyboard talents of Hans Lundin, Kaipa produced five albums starting with their eponymous 1975 debut.
		In addition to the fact that Roine Stolt shared far more of the writing duties on this effort, Aleena’s vocal tracks – particularly “A complex work of art” -- seem more organically related to the rest of the album then on Notes From the Past.
		Roine Stolt is all over the album, sounding so Brian May on “Lifetime of a Journey,” getting down and dirty on the excellent “End of a Rope,” and with his signature sound evident throughout.

		Roine worked on his own in the north part of Sweden, and I did most of the keyboard here on my own.
		Roine and I, we got on very well with the music as a matter of fact, we virtually agreed with each other on everything.
		And Roine says he's happy with it too, so you know, there's a good chance that we'll make The Tangent 2, but you know it's in the future and we don't quite know where to go.
