“As I already stated at the start of this review, Anton Roolaart didn’t let me down with the music he wrote for his second solo release! Just like on Dreamer, he and his guest musicians managed to keep me entertained the whole album through. I only hope the progressive rock community doesn’t have to wait for another seven years to welcome his third solo effort. Furthermore, I certainly wish he would be coming to his motherland for some concerts, because I really want to hear his awesome music live, on a Dutch stage!”

“If you enjoy the mellower sounds of bands like Camel and Genesis, The Plight of Lady Oona should be much to your liking. It really is a lovely slice of melodic symphonic progressive rock and fully deserving of 4 stars.”

“Connoisseurs of progressive rock have a debut disc from an amazing player to look forward to in April. Netherland’s born Anton Roolaart’s debut disc, Dreamer, should be occupying space on your iPod or in your CD tray for many months to come. The disc is a delight for fans of emotive and original electric guitar voicing. From gentle, complimentary notes on his vocals to explosive yet exacting bursts of steel-wound string magic, Anton demonstrates his mastery of the frets. The album’s complex guitar textures and arrangements display this New Jersey musician’s deft capabilities with the genre he has a passion for.”

“When you find an artist like ANTON ROOLAART who combines both approaches, we are before a musician who deserves to be supported because has the courage to respect and keep alive the early spirit of Symphonic but also the vision to accept that times change and something new has to be added to what is already available.”
