5.0 out of 5 stars The sound of old vintage synthesizer, in the future music., January 9, 2000

I knew the Norlander work, when I was looking for Symphonic Progressive Rock information and I found the Projects that he worked and I decide to get more information about him. Before I get this album from Amazon, I made download of some track on his site and read about his old projects. Erik Norlander was member of the progressive band Rocket Scientists, work in production and write songs for the singer Lana Lane, and work with Keith Emerson. The sound on this album is cleared influenced by Emerson style, and the Emerson's Moog sound (that was borough to him for this album) is detected in many tracks, played in great style by Norlander. This album is to keep the old vintage synth keyboard sound alive.

Threshold is great.Even better keyboards , better quality and sound and the production is great.I also find it even cheesier but hey, what's wrong with cheesy? =]My favorite tracks are probably [if i can't choose all] is 'Neurosaur' and 'Neuro Boogie' [what funny names..]

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun, but a bit too tame for my taste, July 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Threshold (Audio CD)

The sticker on the shrinkwrap to this cd read: "For fans of Rick Wakeman and Keith Emerson". While there certainly are some similarities, it's definitely not in that class ! There are some really nice synth textures that reminded me of old Tangerine Dream or even some of those more obscure Wakeman solo albums from the 70's. The overall sound texture however seemed a little on the thin side. Also, I wasn't too impressed with the compositions in general, and the playing - while competent - is certainly not a high-wire act. I have to confess that the really cool cover influenced me in purchasing this cd, but the music just didn't seem to match.
