5 stars 1. Hold On slow intro, dark, annoying violin, a bit of guitar and the typical sound, COLLAGE, not BELIEVE because more acoustic, pop especially. Folk with always Mirosław on guitar diffusing a velvety, bewitching prog sound; the new vocal Jinian with the consensual voice that we have to get used to; Satomi's violin is drowned in the mass, a plus; the progressive declination has its effect, melting between the voice incorporating itself into the range; halfway through we are captivated by the clarity of the violin, I think of one of my friends who is going to laugh 'My top of the year' since he loves the violin he is going to swoon; new acoustic break with a Genesis arpeggio and this time the solemn organ that makes the remaining hair wet; the guitar, I persist one of the most beautiful with that of the late Piotr of RIVERSIDE brings the progeux to his knees. Attention a second aerial solo, even higher, occurs, the Altman is there; long captivating instrumental degressive finale with a zest of melancholy. 2. Wicked Flame arrives, like a BOND soundtrack; the air between COLLAGE and BELIEVE with the violin incrusted, lacking relief in fact, the melody taking over with an already languid Jinian, sailing at the whim of the MARILLION break, heavy bass and slamming pad. The stratospheric solo amalgamates everything into a marshmallow spleen melody; there are 3 minutes left and the air becomes prog metal, heavy metal; fiery finale exploding between the bass, the synth and the swirling air, superb.

3. Shadowland with ambient softness, divine flute and vocals in front on this ballad where the guitar weaves its melody supported by the violin; we would think we were on an ARENA title. Break from the great neo era oozing spleen and advancing on a languid violin-guitar flight, like in the good old days. The sound of the Polish school comes to light, letting the instruments rise; this entrechat with the well-integrated voice increases the listening pleasure; title where Maciek's final piano reinforces the melodic and neo-classical grandiloquence 4. By My Tears with the direct attack of Polish prog blood with synths and Satomi's violin; a nostalgic acoustic piece, vibrant piano and martial pad. The vocals with their languid choirs give way letting Mirosław release the divine solo, the one that makes you shiver, followed by violin then the funky-jazzy-folkloric drift. The finale with a breathtaking solo by Mr GIL brings the piece very high in the new symphonic prog 5. Shine starts on a whirling melody tone; a pregnant, invasive bass, a marshmallow vocal, an imprint that comforts me in the sound of the triptych COLLAGE, SATELLITE and BELIEVE associated for their major reminiscences potentiated on romanticism, sure value of prog without borders. A strong comeback with the violin again to end the album as at its beginning but here with wisdom, emotion and contemplation; the slap. (4.75)
