5 stars Finally, I was able to review this. My third venture into Zeuhl territory. And also my not only first Zeuhl, but also first album listened together with my girlfriend. I'm glad she's stunned (pleasantly) by this, this ... masterpiece, same as I am. Still am

Something that can fit only to vast and faraway universe of Kobaïa. It literally got my attention, held me for these roughly 50 minutes and let me go after it ended. Few minutes after it ended. Very interesting album, even I feel that some elements starting to be well known and repeats itself. But that's OK, I just though that this magical wonderful (shiny happy, you know) world will be full of surprises endlessly. Nevermind, let's sober a little bit. OK, it's not possible, 'cause I'm still listening.

Christian Vander's voice is, well, still good, even he's XX years old. Not lost anything from his energy and potential, it's even better. First I didn't understand all these hyped ratings (9 ratings, 2 reviews, all 5-stars), but now I'm doing the same thing. It will decrease after some time I suppose, maybe even I will change my mind, but for now, it stands for

5(+) with only mistake, it can be little bit boring after some time. I felt this during first listen, but then, after repeated ones, it disappeared little bit. The problematic part is towards the end of II and for some time in III. But there's also positive thing about it, every new listen brings something new. Not patterns (piano, drums, chanting, it's very similar), but new sounds, little differences, some of them which are very important.
