Description

Very rare original Finnish 1991 pressing without lyric insert

Twilight Time is the second album of this Finnish classic heavy/power metal band. In this recording, known originaly as Stratovarius II, appears a more serious keyboard work (played by Antti Ikonen) and a better effort in vocals (by guitarrist Timo Tolkki) than on the previous album. The drums was played by Tuomo Lassila who made an impressive work at the same time that he was the co-writer of the lyrics in 5 tracks. Of course, the guitar of Tolkki is outstanding, obtaining a heavy but very technical sound. Curiously the bassist who appears in the credits didn`t play (Jari Behm) on this album, and the bass lines was played by Tolkki. Twilight Time went a long way towards establishing their fan base in Japan, in part because it’s where their melodic, retro-British/power metal sound really started to jell.
