Album Description
Pinup Guru is his first solo album and with it he enhances the current prog-rock scene by one very interesting and individual opus. The ten instrumental compositions on the album take the listener on an exciting journey through the long tradition of those rock albums which took their enduring strength from organ and keyboards. Digipak. Inside Out Music. 2002.

Customer Reviews

An excellent addition to any progressive rock collection
Tomas BODIN gets instant recognition for his talented keyboard adventures with the legendary prog-rock masters from Sweden The FLOWER KINGS. There is much more to his talents than working with that group.
I consider this symphonic progressive rock album a delight for those of you who are prepared for an extreme and multihued musical journey that will require a lot of reflection and afterthought.
I highly recommend this CD to all prog rock funs.

Good stuff for keys
This keyboard oriented cd is really the flower kings without thier lead singer guitar player. All the other players are here. It is nice to listen to. Some songs however, just go nowhere. But others are just wonderful.

I would get all the flower king releases first, then branch to this one.

Terrific second effort.
Tomas Bodin's Pinup Guru is a terrific follow up to the equally outstanding Ordinary Night... Unlike his first recording this is a trio recording with Jonas Reingold on bass and Zoltan Csorsz on drums. These three Flower Kings bandmates play brilliantly together. As with the FK's recent release, Unfold the Future, there are jazzy flavorings throughout but it is still clearly a prog effort. The interplay between these three musicians is just incredible. Bodin's compositional skills are clever, creative and imaginative. This is an instrumental recording with nothing but keyboards, bass and drums to hold one's interest. It does so admirably. Tomas Bodin is well in the ranks of Wakeman, Emerson and Banks. His ability to explore new sounds and directions is reminiscent of his forebearers but he is certainly a unique keyboardist within his own right. I look forward to what is to come in the future. This one is well worth purchasing...Simon
