First, let me say a few words about my "edition" of the album. The 2006 edition (original 1996) waiting outside only with a slightly altered cover. Bonus tracks are not included, and if the songs were mastered I can not say because I have not yet found any information about yourself. But let's get to the interior: Once could inspire me the band at a festival live and win for themselves had an album here. First with "Cold shine" tormented me soon the desire for a new masterpiece of last resort. Well me is my personal album No. 2 "The Game" before. Like on "Cold gloss" can be classified stylistically the band, and that just makes them so unique. Just because the genre splits on this album was even more extreme, it goes from Metal ("Game Begins") to folk metal at its best ("Satyr") via keyboard-heavy and rather more sedate pieces ("Tender angel") to through to techno with "moon trip" and "Opus No. 1", it does not sound monotonous and you look forward to when listening again and again to new surprises. The songs here are all perfectly in harmony, especially the already convinced with drummer Specki's drum style me with its many snare beats live immediately. And lyrically is the final authority at the highest level, but which the listener will probably do best himself an image. Overall, I can give the album with a clear conscience his full 5 stars because it just rocks from the beginning the walls away.
