ISILDURS BANE ~ SONGS FROM THE OBESRVATORY (EP) ATARAXIA EP 1 (Barcode: 7320470044582) ~ SWEDEN ~ Progressive Rock Recorded: 2005Released: 2006 This EP is a companion to the Mind Vol.5:The ObservatoryFind albums with this title DVD by Swedish Prog Masters Isildurs BaneFind albums by this artist. Three of the four tracks on the EP come from the DVD, but the last one was previously unreleased, which is reason enough to get the EP, surely for the many IB fans. The music is of course divine, as always – a perfect mixture of contemporary classical music with Prog elements, rich orchestral arrangements and all the rest that makes IB the best Prog band in the world. The songs feature the splendid vocals by Mariette HanssonFind albums by this artist, who also wrote the song’s lyrics. Mats JohanssonFind albums by this artist on keyboards (the IB resident composer and leader) is brilliant as always.

In addition to his work with IB, Johansson is a prolific composer of modern contemporary music with hundreds of pieces composed and recorded. This album presents his music performed by the excellent classical Swedish trio. Two extended pieces are present: `La Ruche` and `The Voyage`. The second was later expanded and arranged for IB and recorded as an album of the same name.
