Please my link you can´t spread further and don´t upload to other hostings!!! Lars Säfsund (vocals, bv, k) (Work Of Art)Īnders Rydholm (k, b, rg) (Grand Illusion) Plenty of melody, strong choruses and the wonderful vocals of Lars Säfsund. Very theatrical and perhaps the work Lars Säfsund has done with Disney rubs off on this song?Hopefully Grand Illusion and Work Of Art will continue alongside Art Of Illusion, as there is easily room for all three, especially as they are more studio based projects and not always on tour.You can’t really go wrong when two talents in the Scandi melodic rock scene combine as on here.
Makes for a very impressive listen.There are a couple of bizarre musical offerings, ‘Waltz For The Movies’ recalls cult prog/pomp band A.C.T. They can rock out too, just listen to the fast paced ‘Go’ which features some top guitar soloing.‘Let The Games Begin’ mixes pomp and AOR to good effect, reminiscent of Robbie Valentine with lots thrown into the mix musically, and a again emphasis on the vocals and their arrangements. Anders Rydholm is no slouch either having worked with Overland, Seikima II and Japanese artist Demon Kakka.There are shades of Toto on ‘Run’, then on ‘Snakebite Charm’ you have a neat piece of modern melodic rock – definite shades of Grand Illusion’s love of backing vocal arrangements on here. This is the debut album by Art Of Illusion, a duo consisting of composer and producer Anders Rydholm (Grand Illusion) and singer Lars Säfsund (Work Of Art) – see what they did there with the band name? Very good chaps!Lars Säfsund is well known in melodic rock circles not only for Work Of Art but also for his singing with Lionville and Enbound. In combination with his songwriting and producing, Anders holds a position as senior lecturer in Music Production at the Linnaeus University, Vaxjo, Sweden. Voice acting for Disney and other production companies, is another of Lars' many skills.Anders Rydholm has beside his own bands Grand Illusion and Code, worked with Overland, Seikima II and the legendary Japanese artist Demon Kakka. Four appearances singing background vocals, for several countries, in the Eurovision Song Contest so far. He's also the voice for the bands Lionville and Enbound and one of the most hired background vocal singers in Sweden. He has since then been an appreciated voice within the melodic rock genre. Lyrics by Anders Rydholm, Arlene Matza-Jackson and Patrik Ahlm.Lars Säfsund broke through with his band Work Of Art and the album "Artwork" in 2008. Drummer Frank 'Frallan' Nilsson, background vocalist Per Svensson and steel guitar player Tony Paoletta also appear. The album is produced by Anders and Lars.Guests on the album are guitarists Jay Graydon, Muris Varajic, Kristian Larsen, Pelle Holmberg and Daniel Rydholm.
Anders plays keyboards, bass and rhythm guitars, while Lars sings lead and background vocals and also contributes some keyboards. Catchy melodies, great hooks and tons of glorious vocals are the formula for success. Art Of Illusion - X Marks The Spot (2021)Īrt Of Illusion is a fusion of songwriter/producer Anders Rydholm, from the band Grand Illusion, and singer extraordinaire Lars Säfsund, from the band Work Of Art."X Marks The Spot" is the first album from these Swedish musicians.Melody is the key in their music and there is a homage to melodic rock and bands like Queen, Giant and Big Money.
