I quite liked the first album of this band and I was quite excited to discover their second opus. But what a deception!

This album is quite thin IMHHO. Overlong tracks (two) and a filler. Plus almost fifteen minutes of a jazzy self indulgent affair ("Suite Charlotte Pike"). This album clocks at over seventy minutes and could have been reduced by half.

I was maybe expecting too much from this "Bridge Across Forever". This highly technical music might please some prog lovers, but the great vocal harmonies of their debut, are almost absent. Symphonic parts are quite scarce. So, what's left?

Not very much, I'm afraid. OK, the second epic "Stranger In Your Soul" does hold some of these features but only during a portion of these almost thirty minutes. In all, this sophomore album is quite a deception as I have said during the introduction.

My advice is to stick to their great debut album "SMPTe". Two stars for this one.
