4 stars 'Illusion of the Day' Maiden-style riff, energetic Light Damage-style synth, grainy, boosted vocals, vitaminized prog metal. Fresh, modern sound, I'm signing up right away, it's a change; excellent frozen piano outro that continues on 'Dying Dream' with a soft, sensual ballad, supported by the delicate violin reminiscent of Barclay James Harvest tunes. The evolution is slow with a guitar solo from Simon before the grandiloquent neo-prog drift, Phil energetically marking his vocal imprint; the orchestration is not left out with the solemn finale, deeply metallic with a gripping riff. 'Simple Mirror' starts again, metallic riff smelling of the Threshold from the start, more metal than prog metal; explosive to the point that I can't find the band's imprint anymore, disconcerting. 'Kyrie' changes with this violent, sinister, neo-classical and dark instrumental at the same time, magnificent for the relaxing melancholic space.

'We are One' for the mix of genres, between heavy riff and languid ballad with melodic marshmallow, a conventional musical oxymoron. 'Blurry Memory' with the ideal intro, atmospheric, progressive and solemn. The acoustic Floydian guitar and the languid air that drag on dramatically; halfway through the machine gun guitar riff takes the lead before the neo-prog variation with Olympian choirs. The finale again on the piano, the vocal slightly redundant, progressive. 'In Fine' guitar and piano arpeggios, the outro narrated on a cinematic space, children's cries in the distance, a piece to wake up, rinse your ears, between classical and ambient.

Innerspace dared to evolve their symphonic and metallic sound. Current rock juggling between melodic prog and prog metal, a sophisticated tangle giving a new musical touch. (3.75)
