2006, "The Astral Factor" is the stunning new album from WATERCLIME, a new project led by VINTERSORG main man "Mr V". Combining the very best elements of traditional progressive and symphonic rock filtered through a Nordic mind with Scandinavian folk tones and at times a jazzy ambient atmosphere. The Astral Factor yields a highly individualistic sound that will appeal to a wide cross section of rock fans. "Mountains" may kick off "The Astral Factor" in a highly positive fashion. Mr. V suddenly noticed he had written enough songs in the lighter prog genre to fill an album with. A nice idea. The good man surely know how to play his instruments, including atmospheric keyboards, strings, a Yes/ Genesis like bass and resounding guitars. All ingredients, jazzy intervals included are present to fill 'The Astral Factor'.
