Trion

Jemetrion takes on another journey…

       … through a wonderful world full of questions and answers.

“Twenty-three years after the first album and thirteen years after the last, the Dutch Trion is back for a fourth exploration into the wonderful world of symphonic rock in general and the Mellotron in particular. This is already evident from the name of the band, which is called a combination of ‘trio’ and ‘Mellotron’. (…) Of course, Eddie Mulder’s guitar and bass guitar also play an important role, not to mention Menno Boomsma’s inventive drumming. But the overtone remains reserved for keyboardist Edo Spanninga, who manages to find exactly the symphonic comfort zone in your ear for a full hour, with all those familiar authentic and nostalgic sounds that you recognize from the prog masterpieces of the past (…) Let’s hope Edo, Eddie and Menno don’t need another thirteen years for the next one!.(Erik Groeneweg – Progwereld)

Trion, the well known Dutch prog-trio, releases its third studio album. In 2011 Trion was invited to deliver a contribution to Finnish project “Decamerone” of Colossus. This invitation led to Trion composing the track Fast Forward. Since that occasion the renewed enthusiasm led to composing and rehearsing in 2012. Recording started in early 2013 and thus resulted in completing Trion’s third album, entitled “Funfair Fantasy”. The album has been released on Polish label OSKAR of Mr. Witold Andree and is being distributed worldwide. “Funfair Fantasy” contains of 10 tracks, composed in Trion’s style. Within these tracks there was room for experimentation while “spontaneity” was a keyword when recording the album. For Trion this album means a logical development, after the band’s two previous albums. Trion is quite confident that “Funfair Fantasy” will find its way to fans of the prog/symfo genre once more.
