ALPHA CENTAURI

TD was an important part of my teenage days but I was too young at the time of release to be interested in such an album as ''Alpha Centaury''. Nevertheless, I discovered this album much later and I have to say that I was really charmed by the opening song.

''Sunrise?'' only last for some four minutes, but it has the sculptural beauty of (again) ASOS from who you know. Very imposing and melodic keys. The same feel takes place after the first three minutes (which can be skipped) from ''Fly?''.

In addition to some marvellous keyboards, the light and discreet fluting adds a superb and emotional note to this second piece of music. It is just pure beauty, relaxation, happiness and joy. It is an extremely moving track which brings me shivers down my spine. In one word: BEAUTIFUL. The second highlight.

I have faced lots of personal problems recently, and I have to admit that TD music has helped me to cool down at times (which was probably what I needed most). If ever you are in such situation, believe me: this sort of album is a good antidote.

The epic and title track doesn't provide me the same emotion but it is still a fine TD experience.

Three stars.
