OPTICAL RACE

After reading the other reviews for Optical Race, I had to add my 2 cents. I think this album rates much higher than 2 stars. I'll give it 4 stars. First of all the first track; Marakesh is a monster. This is one of the best TD tracks ever. If I could only play one track to anyone who has never heard of TD, I'd play this one. I love the progression to the best melody that always gives me goose bumps and then it recedes back to where is started. Very orderly and presice. One a hot summer day on the beach, I always have to listen to this song.

Most of the other tracks are good to very good, but they can't compare to Marakesh. Marakesh alone makes this a must have CD for any Prog Rock fan

If you love synthisizer, and you love 80's music, you'll love this album. If you love TD's Phaedra album and want more of the same, you won't like this album. I happen to love them both.
