Another excellent album that came out yesterday! Second album of the series, and I thought it would be similar to book 1, but... it has a very different vibe. These guys are awesome.

The first track "Over Westwinds" transports you into a sacred medieval song, very calm and contemplative.

"Orias & the Underwater City" starts with a similar sound, but then, the second part goes into a "Crash Bandicoot" middle west level music haha, very cool change!

"Ocean Traveller" is just excellent, very Gentle Giant-ish, change of rhythms, catchy melodies, counterpoints.

"Lady of Waves" comes back to that chill vibe, until the end of the song, when the RIFF comes in, what a great 70s heavy section.

"Green Refreshments" brings all the progressive stuff to the stage, simply powerful, with some oriental vibes too.

And finally "The Grand Reef", which has some reminiscences of that medieval style from Book I, another excellent track, danceable, proggy, powerful.

No epics, but it's not necessary, just a magic album. Can't wait to listen to all 3 Books from start to finish.
