5 stars This is a must-listen album. In fact, give it a couple of sins. Because the secrets of its brilliance may not embrace you immediately. A least it took me some time to understand what makes this so special.

Craftsmanship, joy, pure talent and great songs make this a candidate for album of the year for me.

Quiet Euphoria - Softly, the theme of the song is introduced by the piano. Then, the track explodes in all its energy, jazziness and funkiness. The bass and drums lay a solid foundation for the rest of the band to go wild. Excellent start of the album 9.5/10

Shaping Shadows - Strong Miles Davis vibes here. Very jazzy and free-flowing song. 8.5/10

The Inner Driving Force - Is another song that has strong Miles Davis influences. Obviously due to the trumpet, but also because of how the band plays off each other. 8.5/10

Divide and Conquer - Heavier than we have heard before through the driving bass line. This track reminds me of King Crimson, even including some Frippertronics. 8.5/10

Thrown to the Lions - Is another beautifully jazzy piece. Guitar solos are standout here 8.5/10

No Time for Lullabies - Is a great moody song to close the album. Again, the trumpet has Miles all over it, in a good way. 9/10

This is an album that enriches any prog collection. Beautiful!
