Baltimoore
Kaleidoscope BLP Music

by John Kindred
Staff Writer

Comments: Björn Lodin returns with his band Baltimoore, now on his own label, BLP Music, after disagreeing with the release date with Lion Music. Kaleidoscope features the same lineup that appeared on the Fanatical studio release. The CD is a 12 song affair with almost 48 minutes of music.

Lodin continues his exploration into melodic compositions that are heavy on guitar driven grooves and feature superior solo work by Sedenberg and Bergstrom. Lodin's vocals are gritty, harsh, almost like listening to someone on the verge of losing his voice. Yet his voice fits will within the context of the songs.

The band has a great retro rock sound that is stellar when combined with the flawless production on Kaleidoscope. Talking about the production, Lodin handled that as well. The band rocks on the melodic "Journeyman," "In The Name of Love," the bluesy "Wellaway," "Plug & Play Me" just to point out some of the highlights on Kaleidoscope.

Baltimoore delivers a solid effort. Fans should be inspired by their latest release. This is definitely worthy enough to add to your collection.
