Album Review by Jasmin:

This is really great album! All tracks have fresh melodies, and although some are better than others I can't think of any track on this album that gets too stale. In a nutshell I would describe style of this album as a progressive Hi-NRG Spacesynth.

What I like most about the whole album is that virtually every track has multiple great melodies and/or parts. It doesn't abuse the standard formula where there is one great melody & musician tries to squeeze as much as possible out of it to the point of exhaustion. Here you have abundance of great melodies and parts in interplay (in accordance with the track's main theme), so when you listen to the album again richness of the best tracks never seem to die out.

What I dislike about this album are just a few songs that don't have any significant "character" if you get what I mean. Those songs are there almost just to fill the album, but this "phenomenon" is present on the albums of all artists.

In the conclusion I would say this album contains a healthy dose of great tracks. While there are a some sub-par tracks (like in every artist's album out there) this album is very well balanced and is enjoyable from the beginning to the end.

If I would have to name a single track on this album that stands out it would be The Call Of Wilderness, it's a very powerful track that combines most (but still not all) of the great ideas found in the album into one song.

Assessment - (4 / 5)
