2nd album from progressive rock-"supergroup" Transatlantic with members from Marillion, Dream Theater, The Flower Kings and Spock's Beard. Later in 2001 the band went on an European tour and featuring a 5th member; Pain Of Salvation's Daniel Gildenlöw who played guitars, keyboards, percussion and also did vocals. The album reached nr. 56 in Germany and nr. 98 in France.
This album is not as good as their first even if there are some good parts and good playing. Unfortunately it gets too poppy and melodic here and there. I want more power!
)Duel with the devil (7,5) 27-minute progressive song that begins with a 5-minute instrumental part. Heavy and cool instrumental parts and melodic vocals.
2)Suite Charlotte pike (6,5) 14-minute mix of 60's-80's style soulful pop-rock.
3)Bridge across forever (7,5) Wonderful vocal-piano ballad.
4)Stranger in your soul (8,0) 30-minute quite good first half but like all Transatlantic songs they get too cheesy and melodic.
