4 stars The Third Eye is the third release by German keyboard virtuoso Alfred Mueller under the Soniq Theater moniker.

As with his other releases, this CD contains a mix of symphonic and progressive soundscapes, with some ambient moods and slight tendencies towards soundtrack music. Floating synths are mixed with emulated instruments, with drums, electric and acoustic guitar as well as bass guitar most noteable in the compositions, and the tunes are spiced with keyboard and synth layers; often numerous of these.

On this release most of the songs explore a dark and at times sinister musical landscape, which suits this music perfectly. Many strong tracks here, especially in the first half of the CD. Mueller seems to run out of steam a bit towards the end; but even so this is a good release, and a good starting point for exploring this artists discography.
