NIGHT DREAMS & WISHES

I am not a big fan of long epics. Not at all. That's why upon seeing the length of this album ? 78 minutes, I was not sure that I can digest it, at least at one go. However, I liked the previous album by Modern-Rock Ensemble and found a right mood in the evening to give a listen to the "Night Dreams & Wishes". It happened that I came back to reality only when the album was over. Wow! I dived in the Space in the beginning (like through the telescope), followed the curves of the Overture, had a voyage with Morpheus, walked through the Childhood and Insomnia and then was shattered by the Dark Kingdom and the Evil King. Sometimes I naturally have seen the pictures. When the Evil King's troops were surrounding and destroying the rebels it reminded me the episode in the Game of Thrones when the army of John Snow was surrounded by Ramsy. Then the tension has eased down with Wake Up and I followed The Final/Outro that was very cool. Want Some More is actually a right thing to finish with presenting some very powerful voice from Vladimir. Altogether there was great musicianship, tempting turns of a suite and almost physically visualized pictures. I would like as well to comment that I liked very much a female in the album. As far as I understood this voice belongs to Vladimir`s daughter. It added additional colors to the album. Was it good? It was 5 star good.
