3 stars Album's opener is symphonic prog instrumental, heavy on keyboards (as all album). S.B.B. in 2010 is far not the same jazz-rock band they were in their very early tears, and even not symphonic band of a bit later period. Opener sounds more as it came from 80-s, but at the same time it has something inside from that legendary S.B.B. from my teens...

All trio's album is well played and well produced. Songs are short and well structured, and sound mostly as a bit vintage music, mixing traditional Polish pop-rock with blues-rock, symphonic rock and art-rock elements. Band for years isn't on the edge of musical fashion (doesn't matter prog or any other). They play melodic classic rock compositions with many elements they learned still in 70-s.

And it works - in fact the album, which possibly should sound as pure vintage nostalgia, in real life contains music could be still enough fresh and enjoying. Living Polish and all E.European prog legend still can play good music. Not innovative, experimental, but just a good music. Without trying to be more modern, that they are.

Good album for band's fans. Far not the best entry for newcomers,trying to hear a legendary band - start from their early 70-s releases, but very competent album, many fans of melodic prog rock will enjoy it.
