Quite a disappointment! After the fantastic debut album Quidam sounds uninspired and popish, in a bad way. This CD is rather dull and boring, although the band still plays very well. Some songs save the day like the beautiful, simple and poignant Beznogi Maly Ptak and the progressive 13minute+ Pod Powieka (the only real progressive song in the entire CD, not coincidentally, the best tune here). But clearly those are not enough to make the album really worth it. Don´t get me wrong, it is not bad, it sounds nice, no real bad tracks, but we expected a lot more after their electrifying start.

Fortunately they´d redeem themselves on their third release The Time Beneath The Sky. But I can not recommend Angel´s Dreams to anyone but hardcore fans, collectors and completionists. One prog song, even a quite good one, is not enough. It´s Quidam´s weakest effort ever. Two stars.
