Album Description

Another great Melodic Rock import brought to you by NEH Records. For "Imaginary Friends", their second album, A.C.T. was able to get producer Johan Ederfors. Some songs have been added with real string orchestra, and the result is just flabbergasting and simply overwhelming. Progressive rock that gets you off your seat - MADE IN SWEDEN - Now imagine!

3 out of 5 stars Solid Second Effort.......2006-12-09

"Imaginary Friends" (March 26, 2001) is the second CD from A.C.T; a Swedish progressive metal band. This particular release is the MTM Music release which was the original general release of the CD, although there was also a Japanese release on Avalon which actually occurred a few days before this one. This CD contains 14 tracks, including six regular works, and then a longer work titled "Relationships" which includes the eight other tracks.

As with their first album, this one is musically strong. The vocals are the weakest part of the album, for me. The album opens with several strong numbers, including "Take It Easy", "Hippest Flop", "A Supposed Tour", "Biggest Mistake", and the title track "Imaginary Friends". However the longer piece, "Relationships" (The Long One), is significantly weaker than the opening numbers of the album. Even with Tomas Erlandsson's wonderful hidden track "Catherine" (his swan song to the group) to close the album, I have to rate this album as slightly lower in quality than their first album.

The band includes Jerry Sahlin (synthesizers, vocals, backing vocals, Vocoder, synthetic drums on "Mr. Unfaithful"), Ola Andersson (electric and acoustic guitars, backing vocals), Peter Asp (bass, percussion, backing Vocals), Herman Saming (lead vocals, backing vocals, silent trumpet), and Tomas Erlandsson (drums, percussion, backing vocals, lead vocals and keyboards on "Catherine"). Their co-stars for this album are "The Acting Orchestra", which includes Anna Blomkvist (violin 1), Karolina Sjöholm (violin 2), Diana Crawford (viola), and Lisa Fagius (cello). They also have Pelle Saether who provides some vocals on "Imaginary Friends" and backing vocals on "Biggest Mistake".
