Reviews & Discussion
This CD is definitely one of my favourites ever. The tracks on CD 1 are all just so amazing. Best tracks on there in my opinion: Planetaria, Third Stream & Spirits In Transit, but like I said: actually all tracks are pure quality. I wasn't that impressed with the more mechanical and techno orientated CD 2 I have 2 say. Still pretty good, but not that nice as the funk & soul of the 1st CD.
The initial idea and then ability to deliver a final product of such quality really shows how advanced their musical ideas and abilities are... The void in class and elegance between this and any "pop" album is embarrassing!!!
I was very bored one night and managed to figure out their crazy symbols...
Track 2.7 translated as "Worlds End" if I remember correctly...
I must admit at first I wasn't 100% as I prefer a harder sound... but given a few listens I accepted, then loved it!!!
Also check their alias "Jacob's Optical Stairway"... it's not as orchestral but you can see how the sound is developing into a more liquid "Two Pages" sound as opposed to their harder earlier work.
Big up 4 Hero... loved you since "Journey II The Light"...
