FATE OF A DREAMER

AMBEON "Fate of a Dreamer" was a different type of metal than what I usually listen to, but I found it very, very like able. Though it is very mellow music with the occaisonal heavy metal guitar I found the music very calm and somewhat soothing to do work to. 'Ashes' was a very good song and my favorite off of the album. 'High' and 'Fate' are also really good songs as well, but compiled with the rest of the songs I'd give the album a 4/5. Not to include how talented Astrid is in her singing. Here are my song ratings:

Estranged: 4/5 (Cool low flute in the begining) Ashes: 5/5 High: 5/5 Cold Metal: 3/5 Fate: 5/5 Sick Ceremony: 4/5 Lost Message: 3/5 Surreal: 4/5 (Cool acoustic solo) Sweet Little Brother: 4/5 Dreamer: 4/5

The CD is a nice one to your Prog collection, and I didn't regret getting this one at all. Not only is Astrid Van Der Veen a very good Dutch singer, but the music quality is spectacular as well with some very good solos among the album.
