Liner Notes
Shangri-La is a work on which EDENBRIDGE drew a fantastical world, centered on the clear voice of Sabine Edelsbacher and Lanvall’s grand arrangement. Symphonic expanse, metal drive and lyrical melody overlap, and in the long songs the drama rises especially strongly. It is a record that further deepened the style built up to the previous album.
On “At First Light,” “The Call of Eden,” “Arcadia (The Great Escape)” and “The Road to Shangri-La,” within the beautifully ordered sound there is the elation of an adventure tale. In the suite “The Bonding (Part 2),” a grand development unfolds that evokes a connection with past songs. Symphonic expanse and lyrical melody fuse splendidly, and a firm narrative quality dwells in the work. Placing rich drama within a beautifully ordered sound, it is a rewarding record conveying the band’s fullness.
