3 stars 1.Hadarian (Beta Centaurian) on instrumental prog metal as you imagine it with a killer rhythm, a very heavy riff and a catchy tune; it's simple, the speakers get their dose 2.Agarthan riff even harder, the rhythm guitar which cuts the air, the guitar flirting with that of a Vai at first very fruity, then with that of a Satriani then a Hetfield, in short it doesn't stop 3.Blue Ray for the heavy guitar hero piece, with a gripping riff, a syncopated tune that pulses in the ears; an electric piece that leaves no time to think, which takes all the attention despite its slight break and its soft finale 4.Atlantean starts with a heavy, invasive piece; we clearly feel his past with Misanthrope who hit hard in the genre, the tune remains fluid and catchy 5.Maldek follows, softer, calm, progressive sensation which emerges, amplified by the acoustics at a given moment behind, piece which begins to pose the listener 6.Feline on acoustic-electric reverberations, chiseled notes for an ethereal and crystalline ambiance that leads to reflection; the finale with the heavy riff gives pride of place to the double pedal and the marshmallow aspect of the guitar 7.Are There Starseeds? mid-tempo and vocoder to accompany Space, Daft punk, to surf on a Serra-style bass, one that you can hear underwater; amazing 8.Mintakan continues if it wasn't a different title I would believe that this is the moment when you land at the bottom yes at the fateful 110m depth... memory of my dives which reverberate here magnificently 9.Ursa Major brings you back to the surface and even much higher with this dope title merging the two essences of Xavier, the uncompromising hard riff that splits hairs in 8 and the aquatic bluesy atmosphere of the last two titles; the tune becomes decidedly progressive and does not cause redundancy like in many other guitar albums 10.Orion for the last title and the flight beyond our cosmos for a title... airy, plaintive and contemplative, an air which gives a last dose of hard rock guitar.

A 3rd opus that goes from the stars to the depths and vice versa.(3.5)
