4 stars 1. Rhythm Of Life (0:32): funny senseless intro 2. Retropolis (11:10): incredible majestic instrumental piece. Symphonic KB riffs, coupled with truly soaring guitar solos. Rating=93 3. Rhythm Of The Sea (6:12):beautiful balad with great lyrics"Iwill always go with the undertow; I found Im part of someth' huge,Im part of every single move". R=90 4. There Is More To This World (10:15): A himn: Melodic vocals, happy KB riffs; comes to to a halt and second singer sins some heart touchig vocals. R=91 5. Romancing The City (0:57): Samll classical Piano piece 6. The Melting Pot (5:45)Proggy instrumental in which guitar, KB, and soprano sax, join in some oriental-like melodies: R= 89 7. Silent Sorrow (7:42) Got some very good and strage proggy parts and catchy vocals R=89 8. The Judas Kiss (7:43): more dark ambient rock song with a good riff at the middle orf KB and guitars. R=88 9. Retropolis By Night (3:18):KB Instrumental which remembers the synth sounds of Blade runner R=84 10. Flora Majora (6:50): Typical prog instrumental, strong but, youve heard it befire R=83 11. The Road Back Home (8:55)Difficult to get into, but ends with some guitar solos and melodies that are so beatiful that have made me cry. R=93

Overall a solid piece of symphnic prog rock. You cant go wrong with this one.
