1. Spectres:
A great song for the opening of the CD. My personal favorite right from the start. Especially the catchy chorus and the solo instrument, I find here a great success. The chorus is fast becoming a real catchy tune and the melody remains hanging in the fast memory. A piece that encourages to sing along!
2. The Watchmaker's Dream:
The second song is also very well done with a good chorus. However, in my opinion, one of the bit "weaker" songs.
3. Black Orchid:
A favorite of mine with an impressive start. The singers complement each other very well. The song contains one of the best choruses and is full of power!
4. Where Clock Hands Freeze:
Michael Kiske as we love it! His voice is perfectly staged. A song that was just written for Michael Kiske and use his strengths white!
5. Sleepwalking:
A pop - rock song! Oh my God! Honestly: What the heck ?! Although some metal heads the acid regurgitates, it is a quiet component and Cloudy Yang complements great with Tobias Sammet. The song sounds just wonderful and harmonious! Keep your lighters ready!
6. Savior in The Clockwork:
The first 10 minutes - song on the new album. And what a! One begins to hear the song and never have so quickly with me lapsed 10 minutes
7. Invoke the Machine:
And another favorite of mine. I simply like the voice of Ronnie Atkins and the "We invoke the machine" from him. A brilliant, hard song!
8. What's Left of Me:
What can I say here, this song is great and sang with Eric Martin Tobias Sammet is a real stroke of luck succeeded!
9. Dweller in a Dream:
Fast, uncompromising and to a really good sound! A favorite of mine! Also thanks to Michael Kiske!
10. The Great Mystery:
The second 10 minutes - Song and Again: You experience these 10 minutes as if you were in another world. These 10 minutes of this song definitely worth!
-------------------------------------------------- -------------- Limited Edition only --------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
11. The Cross and You:
Again a great addition to the Limited Edition. Tobias Sammet keeps its level in this song and thus this piece does not have to hide from the first 10 songs!
12. Death is just a Feeling (. Old version):
Tobias Sammet performs here the song "Death is just a Feeling" from the CD "Angel of Babylon", the then Jon Oliva contributed. And quite honestly Tobias doing a great job and sings the song in their own way, but the power that put Oliva in this song just remains the hallmark of this piece. Nevertheless, a good remake of Tobias Sammet!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, let me say that this album is absolutely worth the money and I was not disappointed. However, I would "The Scarecrow" and "The Wicked Symphony" even place on this disc. A brilliant foundation was a new chapter here but placed and you can hopefully look forward to a sequel!
