![]() "Embers" and the airy ballad full of emotion, the regulating pad, the solemn sound. The guitar solo forward, fat, dropping notes in all directions; the piece melting candy. "Shadow of the Moon" in the same vein to the point that this album could be Joe's with its palette of guests; velvety romantic ballad, mid tempo and colorful air with this easily integrated chorus. The break lets Jordan's synth do its job without... shadow, with mastery, final "decrescendic" reverb to get out of the space train. "Eternal" has a hard air, heavy prog from a BOSTON for the analog keyboards in a wink. Jordan puts himself on stage like on an instrumental from DREAM THEATER, the sound explores, looks elsewhere, bossa nova, Andalusian, sampled fury, notes of embers, sublime. Joe intervenes trying to tame the slightly mawkish piece. The air starts up again, we scan the sky, a heavy guitar solo, prog metal associated with the turbulence of the keyboard and a bewitching groove with sampled trumpet, finally the fat, sneaky, enjoyable keyboard, à la DREAM THEATER. "Footstep in the Snow" romantic ballad encore, questioning the 'After' divinely staged if you are a believer. The suave voice looks at the ethereal climates of FOREIGNER and makes you want to take your fiancée in your arms. "Dreamer" as a cinematic finale, a languid air that we find on the last QUEEN, grandiose. Once again it is the ether, the heavens, those that Freddie had sung before leaving for good. The song that could be played on 'Barry Lyndon': Dramatic, serene air, filled with emotion to rest the ears. JORDAN RUDESS releases the orchestral, cinematic, melodic, experimental, theatrical and dramatic album, all that. Originally on profilprog.
