“Reflection”, with its guitar beginning and synthesizers, sound almost joyous, but then becomes a little heavier. This piece has a certain dream like quality. “Pathway” is a melodic metal song with a quite catchy rhythm and guitar line. I was pleased by the singing, in my view it is a common flaw in many contemporary prog bands, but it is a strong point for Ghost Circus; they can really sing! “Holding On” returns to the symphonic prog realm in a manner near Porcupine Tree. It is a more ethereal piece which transforms itself to an AOR song. The guitars are simply superb. The next piece “To Be”, after an ambient beginning, offers us a pop rock song, the kind of song that could be played on radio. “Losing Time” is a classic rock piece with its guitars on reverb and great beat reminding me of many old timers' tunes (AC/DC, Deep Purple, Argent, Iron Maiden, etc.). I like very much the sound of the guitar in the melodic solo. The «a cappella» end is also interesting. “Through The Darkness” is in the vein of bands such as Iron Maiden or more near us Port Mahadia i.e. a solid rock tune, but only for a time since it returns to prog in the last part. “Through The Light (parts 1-8)” is an epic length track that clocks near 27 minutes. It is the kind of musical work which I'm at a loss of words to describe. It spans many genres (mainly prog/AOR) and has a complex structure. My favourite parts are “The Sea of Shadows” with its oriental tinge, “Soaring Above” with some impressive shredder’s parts, and “Distant Memory” a great progressive piece. “Across The Line” closes nicely this very good CD. It is my favourite piece of the CD. I simply love it! Crossing the line is fun after all. This is a great symphonic prog tune, with a shredder as the helmsman.
