3 stars 23 years have passed and Patrick offers a nostalgic revision of sounds between Renaissance classicism, baroque air and modern touches to travel through our memories of the last decades.

'A Secret World' with the grandiloquent resonating organ, dark, plaintive, ethereal cello sounds; a nostalgic harmonica, an austere clarinet, everything to set the mood 'The Blue Unicorn' on a march with minimalist drums and electronic bass bringing a synth with redundant notes 'Breath' for the solemn pino interlude 'King Arthur's March' and its medieval promenade, mellotron strings amplifying this symphonic piece which would have been all the rage during the 90s. 'In the Corridor' led by a Serra-style bass rumble; Patrick distills a warm guitar solo with a nostalgic clarinet in the background, forcing the wandering

'21st Century Dancing Man' with FACE in the background; the liturgical voice on an electro basis, a mixture of sounds and times for the anachronistic flagship title; medieval and decadent fusion with this TANGERINE DREAM keyboard from the 80s, futuristic, avowed paradigm 'The Magical Path' on a soft STRANGLERS tune for the side nostalgic for the renaissance, children's piano and an electro dub accompanied by brass 'Out of Time' acoustic guitar eyeing the horizons of GENESIS, simple beauty coming from a troubadour manant 'In My Dreams' where the acoustic guitar combines with the spleen cello to distill a lugubrious splendor; angelic choirs of which some Gregorians give religious emphasis, very beautiful 'Faust and Mephisto' on solemn military drums, variations of voices and instruments leading to the inevitable finale; piano notes accompany the woman's voice in this musical spiral where the clarinet intensifies the drama of Faust, filled with misfortune and despair; admirable piece in BROGUIERE style which seems insensitive to time.
