3 stars As their "Voyage 34, The Complet Trip", this release reminds me "Tangerine Dream" a lot. Of course, you'll need to be in the improvisation style to appreciate this. Because otherwise, you will easily lose your temper after a while and stop listening to this.

So, if "TD" is a band you like and if the early live "Floyd" is also one of your good companion, there are good chances that you will be able to digest this work.

So did I. Especially in the second part which is richer in sounds and during which we'll even get some frenetic guitar for a while (starting around minutes thirty-three).

do not expect too much though. It's like if you would be listening to thirty minutes of the middle part of "Echoes", which might sound a bit longish, right ?

This is of course not a masterpiece, but a pleasant moment of trippy music which I appreciate most while getting to sleep.

Three stars.
