5 stars Only two words:simply stunning! This is my second review on progarchives after many years.I needed to write a review because this Lp is something we can't listen frequently nowdays.Delicate,articulate,beautiful melodies,wonderful use of the instruments like sax and flute and the beautiful voice of vanessa Gross are a real gem in the actual music scene. I wil not go into the explanation of the single song because may be, i wouldn't be able to do it. Anyway we are in front of an exciting and an amazing piece of music. Last but not least the artwork of the Lp and the book inside it with the story that's really enjoyable indicates a work behind that's very professional.The recording's also very remarkable. With many compliments to the band i think that four stars are not enough for this work; for this reason i reccomend it and i give five solid stars near to be a masterpiece.

5 stars This fantastic young German group continues to impress. On their second album, it's immediately evident that the band is willing to push their boundaries further. Their flirtation with Canterbury becomes more pronounced, and their delightful singer exudes a newfound boldness. Right from the start, the saxophone emerges, leading us into a melodic journey reminiscent of the pride Caravan would feel if they had produced it. While the group's style is labeled as neoprog, don't expect just another Marillion clone; instead, you're greeted with a remarkably mature band that effortlessly navigates styles evoking Camel, Caravan, Beardfish, Pink floyd, Big big train, Phideaux, Khan and King crimson. Attempting to describe this eclectic mix is a challenge in itself. The songs seamlessly blend together, creating a captivating flow throughout the album, prompting you to check your CD player to track your progress. Their ability to transition from tranquil subtlety to intricate complexity is admirable, never compromising the underlying melodies. The enchanting vocals complement the music flawlessly, never overshadowing the instrumental prowess. There's ample room for musical exploration, allowing each track to evolve organically. This marks yet another triumph for the burgeoning German band, deserving of wider recognition. Bring on more!

I can't give them anything less than a five-star rating. It's impossible to rate them lower when I've been listening to the album non-stop since I discovered it, and every time I do, I sit back and thoroughly enjoy it.
