![]() As always, the piano of Krzysztof Lepiarczyk has a major part to play, but I found myself wishing that guitarist Piotr Grodecki was allowed to stretch his wings as opposed to having them clipped. This album finds the band moving more to AOR-inspired melodic rock with the occasional nod towards progressive rock as opposed to being firmly within the genre and looking out, and the album suffers because of it. Although the vocals are riveting, and I really enjoyed hearing them (and I know we will hear a lot more from Magda in the future in one form or another), there are times during the album when I was simply bored. Loonypark need to have a serious think about where they go from here, as while I thought 'Unbroken Spirit' was a great album, 'Perpetual' wasn't quite as good, and 'Deep Space Eight' isn't quite as good as that, so they need to do something significant. Will they?
