KALEIDOSCOPE

I've listened to this fourth album a few times. It's good. Better than The Whirlewind but inferior to the first two album. The beginning of the CD is not among the best. The first track "Into the blue" is tiring and without very good melodies. The "short" tracks between the two mammoths are really good instead. "Shine", "Black as the sky" are the beeter examples of the new transatlantic album: good melodies, good guitar solos from Roine Stolte and good work from the rhytmic session. The final suite "Kaleidoscope" is much better than the first suite. It reminds me of "All of the above" and defines perfectly the Transatlantic sound. A good follow up to Whirlewind!
