This shift of ARP is clearly one of the best he has created. For me, the decision to buy was made quickly: after I had heard in the store a few seconds of 'Oceans Of Time' was me goosebumps down the spine - the disc I had to have! To my great joy, all other pieces, especially 'Gates of the Seven Seals' and 'Ashes from the Oath', as were worthwhile. At home my purchase decision was then rewarded by incredibly long Instumentals (Yes, this disc has the pieces with the longest solos!). The disc is worth every single penny!
