3 stars 1. Dragon ... the killer symphonic intro, taking time in this crazy world does a little good; Ketty ORZOLA from the ECHOES AND MORE tribute with the voice which reminds me a bit of Maiko from ARRAKEEN for the melody; Celtic flute break before Bastien's keyboard solo which ensures, still very melodic; the second guitar bordering on heavy, well all that; Kitty on tambourines here it is now on a Loreena McKENNITT; choirs for a colorful finale 2. Close My Eyes as a bonus on a ballad eyeing MOSTLY AUTUMN yes I like to come across different sounds but which have a similar musical range; a solo, a stunning solo, the most of the group so far 3. Rise Above the Wind good vibrant bass, well it's not Klod who wants; guitar that is looking for itself and then bam piano à la BERGER all of a sudden; Alain STEVEZ yes, that of the Goldmen comes here to put a touch of blues on this oh so sensitive title, with an angry and haunting guitar which launches its notes in waves; piece that seems to vibrate over the sounds on a monolithic mid-tempo amplified by a solo that is also devastating, great art 4. Flow for the suave nursery rhyme-ballad base which is especially true for the guitar solo, between emotion and delicacy; 5. The Boy in the Storm starts again with a long title with a languorous melody here; you have to wait halfway through to have a rock-jazzy musical development on the synth and guitar; return verse before the majestic symphonic finale

6. Segolene with Shay ZOHAR on vocals, for a melodic track that draws on the 70's for a vintage memory; Kitty takes the opportunity to raise her tone at the end before the duet vocals 7. Sabishii for the quick cinematic intro of a distant party before launching this romantic title, on a spleen cotton base; I like this reverberation which reminds me of the muffled sounds of APSARAS for indication; a magnificent redundant and metronomic instrumental to let your memory relax; which of Davy or Khanh scratches, both I don't know but it's beautiful and it's priceless 8. Summer Nights with here Angélique PACQUET as guest on a semi-acoustic track; a romantic ballad that flows on its own 9. Expelled from Paradise monolithic bell on a tribal pad, a mysterious keyboard; the riff which comes as heavy metal as desired, must have pleased the bassist who worked on ADX for a while; in short, a prog metal title which juggles on this modern territory and gives pep to this end of the album - Bonus tracks: 10. Melody ...with Jean-Jacques GOLDMAN yes definitely; the wink of the one who was present at the start; what can I say the melody yes, the choirs yes but above all and above all this unforgettable voice of an artist that we would like to see/hear, thank you 11. Will never forget you for the kitsch melody yes I call it that; memory of the concert seen last year at the beginning of the year, it was cold; heard this suave tune that sends shivers down your spine and this guitar solo, again, that stirred your neurons; 'Dans tes nuits' and 'J'aime la nuit' as bo-bonus for ballad titles, between romance and slow from the time when you could still touch someone without having the pangs of aggression, in short another debate .
