4 stars It sounds very nice, "Reed - almost everything, except...". But in The Guardian it's almost impossible to believe that this finishing drum sound at about 7:55 (something like that) is not drum machine, this is just too unreal and fast to be living organism called human. Even I have to admit that sometimes it sounds good, I don't like (if my suspicion is correct). Never mind, from what I saw, it'll probably be the worse choice, but music is good at all. I heard few albums and amongst them this one, but I've decided to do review right after listening this one. No waiting, no hesitating, just direct review, other failed to attract my attention, or failed to do it so much. I understand that there's something like Cyan's trademark sound, which I cannot describe, but I recognize it when I hear it. Of course, only place where I found it so far was on Cyan's CD's, but still. This one is better, it's very, very calm neo prog (don't expect Arena, not even Pendragon, maybe this can be compared to Acoustically Challenged - unplugged CD) with prominent Nigel Voyle's vocal.

4(-), dear proggers and progsters, maybe better after more listening. It's quite promising and I edit reviews quite often.
