4 stars 1. The Departure for the RUSH fusion and the LTE momentum, a zest of crazy electro rock à la ZAPPA, keyboards galore, the mix of crystalline, symphonic drops and apoplectic flights with the riff that suits it well, uncontrollable djent; well we understand that one played on the SLEEPYTIME GORILLA MUSEUM it sets the fire uncontrollably 2. Magic Machine for the musical melting pot, melting of jazzy, djent, bossa, frantic riffs with keyboards that come out of everywhere, for a frenetic rhythm between the FLOWER KINGS and ANIMALS AS LEADERS, modern and fusional 3. Galactic Tactic follows and settles down, the sound clears up, almost melodic 4. Finding the Falls still hooked, frippien riff, djent for a piece of 2016 not bad, modern osmosis before its time; a zest of zeuhl flute to embellish, the Olympian keyboard suddenly, airy, the heavy riff again before the folk violin; yes the SLEEPYTIME GORILLA MUSEUM are not far and the spaghetti trumpet that clears the sky of this musical deluge either; it's pretty crazy anyway 5. The Assembly for another slap with this funfair tune, on the Balkans, this roaring tuba, this trumpet which was ultimately not just a straw; the grandiloquent tune, rummaging fair, the martial tune, solemn, the hilarious tune; the finale reminding me of the madness of the magnificent 'Time of the Gypsies'

6. Agile Descent for contemplation, the air becomes rarefied, the piano rolls, we enter ART ZOYD's chamber orchestra; halfway through it explodes suddenly before finding the violin then the crazy, calm variation then both, a conglomerate of predigestible cinematics 7. Sky Run for the cinema intro, space film, revisited stars wars; the longest title which shows Rudess' touch with the symphonic, cinematic, electric and dithyrambic orchestration; notes coming out of every corner of the keyboard giving a semblance of air; the piano break is worth the detour, crystalline, divine, airy, making you cry for nothing; the second based on acoustic guitar puts the listener down before launching into a frantic and frenetic, energetic tango movement 8. Through the Fog as its name suggests seems to take you through the fog on tiptoe; Jordan's classical piano takes you high, the catchy tune surfing on the great old ones, the sounds of the 70s, 80s and 90s for a buzz of notes; the fresh, heady, hard, dynamic finale 9. Sea Voyage for the Achilles travel ballad, piano and synth forward; it looks towards synthetic music before Roine's magic guitar comes to rest; the FLOWER KINGS for a festive, rustic, hilarious, charming piece; a touch of Olympian caviar, provided they cultivate it as high 10. Impulse II for the cinematic finale, Jonas still piling up the tracks with a frenzied dose of bass and triple bass; it's aggressive, it's violent, it's stroboscopic, borderline epileptic.
