ALONE

I already knew Clepsydra for quite a few years, had all their previous albums, absolutely loved them and so waited impatiently for their next album after Fears from 1997. So I had to wait for 5 years but when this album finally arrived and I played it full of expectation I was absolutely not disappointed. It appeared to be another classic by this underrated Swiss band. A bonus was that it was an album similar to my favourite second album of these masters of neo prog, More Grains of Sand. It was another concept album. I still can't decide which one is better but what they have in common is that you have to play the entire album each time you play it because it's almost as one song, that's how good the concept works. It's like a story being told, a musical journey that's very captivating. An hour of the highest joy one can experience in music. Very melodic and great compositions. Have to give it the full 5.
