For those in the progressive rock community Pär Lindh is considered a keyboard wizard – so much so that he was chosen to play keys for the reunion of the legendary NICE (a prestigious position only held by keyboard visionary Keith Emerson).

With the release of several highly acclaimed albums, the PÄR LINDH PROJECT band has garnered worldwide acclaim. After original lead vocalist Magdalena Hagberg sadly passed away in 2007, and a subsequent hiatus by the band, Pär felt the time was right to record and release his next album and recruited the exquisite vocalist Alan Lewis, former ALASKA member, who is the most recent vocalist with American prog legends STARCASTLE. Lewis also adds his tasty solid drum work to the mix.

Also added to the line-up is bass virtuoso William Kopecky. The new CD, Time Mirrors, is a true masterpiece in progressive rock and has been garnering critical acclaim across the planet. The album has recently been nominated for the Best CD of 2010 by the Italian Prog Awards.

Pär Lindh Project today is a classical rock trio with the focus on keyboard-based music. The influences of European classical music is an important part of their sound. This sets them apart from perhaps all other bands in the rock, pop and progressive music world of today. Their classic album, Gothic Impressions, was elected in 1997 as one of the top ten progressive rock albums of all time along with groups like YES, GENESIS, ELP, MARILLION, PINK FLOYD and others. The Pär Lindh Project was the most successful Swedish progressive rock band of the 1990s.

The reason for the long process to make the new Time Mirror album was, according to composer Pär Lindh, "I was determined to make an album that would make a real difference in the world of music today both as far as in using innovative new sound combinations but also to develop new composition ideas and the creation of a new musical direction."

After an audition in 2009, vocalist and drummer Al Lewis from the USA (best known for his vocal work with Starcastle and Alaska) was invited to join the ranks of PLP.

"Pär was fun and easy to work with," says Al, "and I think he really started to like a lot of my ideas."

William Kopecky once again plays outstanding bass. The band was thrilled with the idea of becoming a trio which will once again include splendid vocals! The comeback PLP album, Time Mirror, with this new lineup of the band was just released December 2010.
