3 stars Unlike the debut album "Stolen From Time" is less progressive especially in the structure of the song as well as music textures. The band tried to keep up with what was happening in the market in terms of rock music releases. The album opener "Bury Me Dead" is a nice outfit using piano and keyboard as the foundation of the music, augmented with guitar work. Vocal quality is similar with Barry Palmer of Triumvirat. As opening track this one sets the overall tone of the album. For those of you are so longing for classic rock music, you might consider having this CD in your collection.

"Today Another Day" is composed in the same vein like opening track. In this song Jahn Teigen (vocals) demonstrates his quality voice with a firm accent that makes the music is quite enjoyable. Guitar provides its solo at the background and never been exposed as soloist. The song changes its style into bluesy one in the middle of the track - or minute 4:00 to be exact. The guitar portion is now quite apparent. "The Jester" is another classic rock tune combining guitar fills, keyboard and energetic voice. Jahn Teigen proves his voice which works well at high notes - followed with excellent keyboard work. "Soft Shoe Dancer" is good composition with bluesy style, nice vocal. This song provides good break for the album. It's an enjoyable song that represents 70s music. "Sleepwalker" concludes the album in medium tempo rock music combining guitar and keyboard and good vocal quality.

It's definitely a good album that suits those of you who want to make a complete collection of 70s music which typically called as classic rock.

"Nothing is useless. Even a spoilt clock shows the right time twice everyday!"
