4 stars For those of you who like neo progressive music, this album might fit your taste. The band has been known in prog community as a band who breathe with neo prog style. The composition of this album is pretty neat and the flow is done in nice transition. Everything flows naturally from start to end. "Tuesday Night" which comprises three parts has an opening part in symphonic style without vocals. The vocal part enters the music on Part 2 combined with long sustain guitar work. The music moves into quieter passage with xylophone play and nice vocal to enter Part 3. Part 3 gives a chance to guitar player to play guitar solo. It's very nice.

"Travel of Dream" also comprises three parts which starts with wonderful vocal and piano. The song moves into richer textures but in a mellow style. Part 2 gives a more ambient and atmospheric nuance that gradually brings the music into higher register notes. The ending part is very relaxing with long sustain keyboard work and guitar work.

"The Return" is much a ballad with good vocal quality. "The Father" is an ambient song with nice guitar (reminiscent of Marillion's Steve Rothery). It's an enjoyable track which I think would favor many people. The album title "Alone" provides another style of music with keyboard dominates the composition.

For me personally, this album is very rewarding. Any of you who like neo progressive music, this album suits your taste. Keep on proggin' ..!

Peace on earth and mercy mild - GW
