2 very different Norwegian reviews:


Morten Ståle Nilsen bashes "Olympia":

"His voice is all gone"

Robert Hoftun Gjestad:

"Still quite hypnotical"
"Ferry still has a flair for the good tune"
"Follow-up to Avalon"
"-many enjoyable songs on the first half of the album, -Bryan messes it up with some anonymous songs, kicks us out of the hypnosis."
"Anyway, nice and solid from a man with an impressive power of creation"

-and another one:

Thumps up from "Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation"`s (NRK) music department: 5 out of 6 points.(the cover fan has recovered)

-And finally, Dagbladet`s verdict (-sounds like they really settle it):

5 out of 6 points.

"Sounds and rythms, (not to forget Marcus Miller on bass), just like in an aural room full of mirrors..."
"Here you can dance, dream and relax, in a suitable lounge, with Ferry in silhouette against the spotlights of the past"

Nice one

After listening to different records, among them Olympia.. this ballad with it's crystal-facets of aural light has become my personal gem of his latest record, imo.

It has invaded my heart and mind. This is true love..
