First a brief note on the album title and its slightly unusual history, because initially, the new Flower Kings opus was to be entitled simply ‘Love’. Main composer and producer Roine Stolt says… “I intended to call the recording just ‘Love’ until I read with a surprise that The Beatles were releasing a new album with that title, so I guess the universe wasn\'t big for that much ´love` in one year. So by twisting the idea a bit, I came up with the alternative title The Sum Of No Evil, which sort of equals ‘Love’. It also gave us a great platform for using some of Ed Unitsky`s surreal art for the cover, that ´fish-bus` is funny and in tune with the hippie and flower power vibe but yet a bit of surreal Monty Python style too. There are way too many dark serious melodramatic bands out there, we wanted to be the colourful, friendly alternative.”

With ‘The Road Back Home’ Roine Stolt and his Flower Kings present their first best-of album – in fact hard to believe. While other bands in the fast-moving music business decide to produce such an album after their second or third release, these Swedes had no less than eleven studio albums preceding. For this album, chief flower king Roine Stolt has chosen 27 songs from a rich source of song material and remixed them to a great extent.

“Welcome To The Paradox Hotel! We want to make your visit as pleasant as possible”, Flower Kings’ Hans Froberg greets the Tilburg audience at the 013 where this concert was filmed last April. He adds, “We want to make you feel at home!” And the Dutch fans gladly accept his invitation. Now with the release of the superb double DVD “Instant Delivery”, fans of the Flower Kings from all over the world can check into the “Paradox Hotel” whenever they like and enjoy the experience.
