I think it's just a matter of time. They could already make a really great "Best Of..." album.

    Yes, the new album by the Holzwarth brothers ("The Art of Navigating by the Stars") is going to be released on September 26. Just check out their website for further details.

    (Unfortunately, "Steps" had that lousy singer but "A Sense of Change" was really okay IMO, a bit like a splintered, fragmented version of "Hemispheres" by Rush. But to be honest I lost my interest afterwards and never listened to the later albums.)   



    if you listen to sophisticated and uneven you might be dissapointed, because they changed their style a lot to something more powerfull with a lot of solos and much heavier than steps and sense of change. IMO they are both great (sophisticated and uneven) eventhough they don't reach the high levels of steps and sense of change.

    How could I forget both LTE albums?

    Add Liquid Tension Experiment- 1 and 2 and then delete Kamelot- Epica and Evergrey- The Inner Circle off my list.
