3 stars Vision Quest is the ninth release in ten years by German project Soniq Theater - also known as Alfred Mueller.

As with his past releases, synths and keyboards make up most, if not all, instrumentation; and the compositions are a blend of symphonic rock, soundscapes and ambient passages - with more than a few nods to the keyboard dominated symphonic artists of the 70's.

As with previous releases, this album is a mixed bag, with some compositions really intriguing in mood and atmosphere, while others are less successfull. The compositions themselves hold a high quality though, but as the synths are used to emulate various instruments; the sound of those instruments - as well as how much the listener is attentive to these - will have much to say for how compelling the individual creations are.

One to check out by those with an interest for symphonic progressive rock of the instrumental variety, and in particular those who don't mind the one man band approach using synths and keyboards to cover all musical grounds.
