JeanMarcDekesel, Aug 11, 2005

With Sasha being the Father and the Son of Progressive Trance you will not be surprised to hear that Progressive also makes the backbone of the album. But the man apparently also has a huge affinity for ambient and the combination of those two styles results in this emotional dagger being plunged right into your cortex.
Some say the album is nothing new - they are right - but isn’t it nice to be given this vivid blast from the past, right from the era where Global Communication and Robert Leiner were searching for some more reflective gloomy soundstructures? This is splendid ever going pulsing ambient, ranging from the massive hoovering Bloodlock to the cheerful sequenzing Requiem.
