“Dance of the Waves” with its strange beginning is the perfect illustration of the melodic metal ties. “First Creature” is in the same musical path, maybe more melodic than the first track. “Inner War” has a great piano beginning; it is also a very good progmetal song. I really like it because it is at the same time powerful and melodic. The guitar solo is fine. “Learning to Lose” is a classic symphonic prog song with a good blend of guitars and keys, it borders on AOR. “Regrets” is a cool ballade which creates a quiet acoustic moment. “Tears of Kalliroe” is the epic length track of this CD and by far the best piece with its superb orchestral beginning. We are not far here from Rhapsody and Luca Turilli. In this piece all the musical styles that I described before are blended in an original brew. It is a real joy to hear. The synths are for me the backbone of this piece even if the guitars are playing powerfully.
