The Canadian label Unicorn Digital always presents music full of mood, and in this case the music is very atmospheric. Because what did the album inspire which was named “Tales From The Four Seasons”? Same phenomena inspired ANTONIO VIVALDI during creating “The Four Seasons”. However the creator of FLOOD's project used the traditional instruments with the present instruments… the acoustic guitars, the piano, the organs and the synthesizer, the flute, the clarinet, the cellos, the bass and the drums… Though the compositions in the album describe same seasons of year but completely in other musical style …

The “spring” begins the album with the calmness and very romantic melodies which create very warm and pleasant climate sunken in collage Art Rock compositions with note of Classic Music… Subsequently the Jazz inclinations additionally announce the arrival of “summer” with joyful and warm melody, which in the moments is accented by folk English melodies… The “autumn” for a moment brought the bit of darkness, however in majority seemed equally calm and friendly… And the majestic “winter” began calmly and first of all very melancholy.

The music has the very rich arrangements, it is nostalgic and pictorial and that is intensified by the birds' singings in the background, by the sounds of storm and by the rain. However here is lack of spontaneity of nature, these spring-summer storms and hurricanes, autumn downpours or winter frost and the night darkness. These phenomena were ideally presented by the master Vivaldi (he showed the calmness and the bliss as well as also the force and the dynamics). On the contrary FLOOD showed those seasons of year as pretty equal. Here you can feel The FLOOD's storm by the sounds in background and not by the music's tone. The whole year which was seen by the eyes of FLOOD seems to be very idyllic and quiet, full of bliss… with small intensity of mood and the gentle darkness.
