NEWS FROM THE MOON
There are quite a few wizards behind the ivories in the progressive galaxy –
But there’s only one jedi…
Ladies, gentlemen, droids and whatnots…
The circle is now complete.
Meet the master joining MOON SAFARI:
Mr. TOMAS BODIN
As most of you know, Tomas and Moon Safari go way back.
Back to 2003, as a matter of fact, when he helped us making the first demo
and later co-produced our debut album: A doorway to summer.
MOON SAFARI is really excited to work with TOMAS again.
We’re meeting up next week and will bring you and update then.
Peace! / Moon S
Tomas Bodin The Flower Kings

Seems as tho Tomas joined Moon Safari, which feels like another nail in the FloKis coffin. It's been about 4 years since the last album, and Roine hasn't said much about wanting to do another Flower Kings album any time soon. In fact, last I heard, he was working on a follow-up to the first Anderson/Stolt album. Couple that with all the stuff that Jonas has been doing with Karmakanic and The Tangent, it doesn't seem likely that the Flower Kings will return anytime soon, if ever.
I'm not sure what Hasse has been up to, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's got another Musical Companion album in the works (which would be awesome). It's a bit sad that, after 5 years of waiting after The Sum Of No Evil, they pump out only two albums, then go back on hiatus for another 4-5 years. I guess TFK fans were spoiled, getting a new album ever 12-18 months for 12 years straight (95-07), but in the last 10 years, only 3 albums have been released.
I think if Roine wants to close the door on the band, he should probably say so. I always hope that whenever he posts news or I read an interview with him, we get confirmation one way or another, but he seems to dance around the issue. *sigh*
