BOOK OF HORIZONS

Well. Here we have a very strange opus. How can Indian music, Psychedelick rock, Movie music and Death metal fit all together in an album? ''Book Of Horizons is the answer. The Trey Spruance's troop plays with a very rich bunch of instruments and of sounds effects to create, on every song, an unique feeling.

1. The End Times: This is a very beautiful entrance to the album. A very nostalgic riff is repeated ''x'' times, with differents instruments and arrangements. Everything here flows like in a brook. 8/10

2. The 4 (Great Ishraqi Sun): A strange Indian song with great musicals arrangements and excellent druming. 7/10

3. The Indestructible Drop: Small psychedelick interlude with interestings effects at the end. No too bad but it don't brings a lot to the album. 5/10

4. Exterminating Angel: A very dark and cacophonous death metal song. Lyrics may be beautiful but we can only distinguish some growlings... Some poeple may find this interesting but I'm not very fan of these kinds of music... 3/10

5. The Owl in Daylight: Begins like the end of track 3, this one is one of the gems on the album. The song changes many times of directions and of mood. The beginning is very psychedelic and strange. It changes incredibly naturally to a kind of cool balad with beautifuls synthetizer's effects and kinds of jazzy trompets at one moment. Then it turns to a very deep and sad moment with loud electric guitar and it finishes on a last psychedelic move. Wondeful piece of music. 10/10

6. The Exile: Another gem. It makes me think a little bit at a movie soundtrack. Beautiful acoustic guitar, banjo, and a wonderful orchestral arrangement. It's so deep! With it's preceding and followings tracks, the highest point of the album. 9.5/10

7. On the Wings of the Haoma: Another great song here. Very psychedelic and original. I found that this song is based on perscusions witch are truly incredibles and originals. It's very dark, but tell me why, it might sounds funny sometime. In short, a must to listen for every fans of ''Mr. Bungle'' or ''Sleepytime Gorilla Museum'' (like Spanky mentioned it). 9/10

8. Book T: Exodus: WOW! THIS is music. Really I don't know what to say about it. It's just too beautiful. Another ocherstral song with a lot of electric guitars, percusions and specials effects. JUST TOO GOOD! 10/10

9. Hypostasis of the Archons: Another cacophonous song... I don't know... I don't feel it... 3/10

10. The Electrotheonic Grail Dove: Strange interlude with psychedelic sounds and a fun bass line. 6/10

11. The 3 : Another good Indian song. Very intelligents riffs and good drumings. It gives me an adventurous and dark feeling. Great! 7/10

12. DJ Revisionist: Another song who change a lot of directions. Walkings between psychedelics sounds and Indians moods. This one make me realize how the album is well mixed. It's very fun to listen on a stereo or with Headphones. 7.5/10

13. Anthropomorphosis: Boxleitner: Well this is also brilliant! Excellent song switching from goods guitars riffs to very strange and beautifuls movements of keyboards. This song is also one of my favorites. 8.5/10

14. Welcome to the Theatron Animatronique: The only thing I can say is that this is a wonderful closure. Wonderfuls keyboard riffs, and a last orchestral performance replaying pieces of the first track. It goes then to a wonderful and original voices chorus accompanied by keyboards. Everything here is so perfect! I love it. PS. The last 15 seconds of the albums are pure wonders ;-). 10/10

Finnaly, Book of Horizon IS for me, a masterpiece. It's only weekpoint are the death metal songs. But maybe i'll enjoy them later, I don't know... Anyway for this, I give only 4 stars... But believe me it worth the cost! It's wonderful! And it's an other world! BUY THIS!
