4 stars This is the soundtrack of a movie that I like very much: the story of a man who works alone robbing safes content until a notorious man obliges him to work for him. The thief discovers after that his new boss fools him and thus he decides to take his revenge.

The music here tries to express the feelings of the thief (James Caan): his desire to get a better and happier life with a new found girlfriend; his anger and vengeance for being betrayed by his boss.

The pieces consist in floating, dark and melodramatic keyboards. There are often Froese's well played electric guitar notes, and some sequenced beat. It sounds a bit like the "Exit" album, but in a darker manner. Just play as loud as possible the extremely aggressive & linear keyboards oriented "Diamond diary" track in your car and you can be sure you will be respected by anybody! "Ignition" is an excerpt from "Thru metamorphic rocks" (Force majeure). Many songs here in Quebec were music themes of popular TV series in the 80's ("Love theme", "Burning bar", "Scrap yard"). This album is a very serious one having no peaceful tendencies.
