The Flower Kings have announced plans to release the first part of a career-spanning anthology.

A Kingdom Of Colours (1995-2002) will launch as a 10-disc box set on December 15 via InsideOut Music, and covers the band’s material from Back In The World Of Adventures to Unfold The Future.

The set will also include a new interview with band leader Roine Stolt by journalist Dom Lawson.

The collection will also include the newly remixed and remastered version of Unfold The Future, which will also be released for the first time on vinyl later this week on November 3. It’ll be presented in a gatefold triple 180g vinyl package and will also include the album on double CD.

Stolt says: “For this re-release I have carefully remixed The Truth Will Set You Free, Devil’s Playground and Black & White – it wasn’t easy to find, or even remember, where all files resided.

“These remixes – more than one hour worth of music – are, as I see it, more detailed and better balanced, where I found this album to be painfully brutal, overly compressed and rough in the original 2002 mix, at times.”

Both A Kingdom Of Colours (1995-2002) and Unfold The Future are available for pre-order from InsideOut Music.
