Solaris can do nothing wrong, every one of their studio albums are excellent. They are however few and far between, and this album came out of nowhere last year without warning. 20 years after Nostradamus - Book Of Prophecies comes Nostradamus 2.0 - Returnity (Unborn Visions). If you are familiar with the former 1999 album, you will have a pretty good idea of what to find here, and both albums are equally great.

The album holds only four songs, but one of them is over half an hour long. The vocals are (as far as I can tell) sung in Latin, and there are both male and female voices to be heard. The focus does however lie on the instrumental attack of flutes, keyboards, guitars, bass and drums.

Personally, I like the band's two Martian Chronicles albums even more, but I am very happy to see that Solaris are still active and releasing new material in their inimitable style. I am less happy though to see that they are not getting the attention they deserve. If you enjoyed past Solaris releases, this one will not disappoint.

Highly recommended!
