Info:
LA TULIPE NOIRE (Black Tulip) hails from Greece, having already grown out of that country's small local progressive garden. The band's discography includes four full-length albums to date, namely "In the Gates of Dream" (1996), "Shattered Images" (1999), "Faded Leaves" (2002) and "Nostimon Hemar" (2006, review below:-). Apart from these two, I am acquainted with their second CD: it was reissued in Russia by MALS. Cold about it, as it's heavily derivative.
"Nostimon Hemar" is a concept album; the lyrics are based on Homer's ageless poem "The Odyssey", as well as some recent writings retelling the adventures of the eponymous Greek hero as if through the prism of a contemporary world with all its problems.
