Terra Incognita
Terra Incognita was the fourth album TRIBUTE made. Originally released in 1990 it also became their final album. Prior to this CD-production the group had undergone a radical restructuring. Pierre Moerlen, Josef Rhedin and Ake Zieden had left the band. Those that remained from the earlier incarnation of TRIBUTE were the siblings Gideon, Lena and Nina Andersson, and Dag Westling. In musical terms this album represents a return to a more epic symphonic style, and the individual tracks are characterized by long instrumental passages and orchestration on a grand scale. The overdubs were numerous, including various stringed instruments, vocals, synths, drum sets, orchestral percussion, and many other philharmonic orchestra instruments, played by members of the Norrkoping Symphonic Orchestra, with which TRIBUTE had joined forces on several occasions back in the 1980s.
