This is a great combination of Mandalaband meets Terra Incognita. If you enjoyed any of their epics, you'll probably like this one as well. The big difference for me was the inclusion of Ryo Okumoto, of Spock's Beard, on keyboards. He really does make an incredible difference in the sound and quality of this album. An example of how important Okumoto's keys are to the mix comes in right around the 13 and a half minute mark, of "Egypt". He joins in with a nice slower keyboard/synth solo to save the song from being overwhelmed by too much of Pellek Åsly's lead vocals. The guitar soloing also helps give Pellek Åsly's vocals a break. The slower pace of the second half of the track brings out the good quality of his vocals from the first three songs of the album. Speaking of epics, there are only six tracks on the album; the shortest comes in at 5:48, so fans of epic long tracks, this is your feast to devour. The longest track, "Egypt" clocks in at over 23 minutes. As with all epic albums, you have the excellent with the good. For me the strongest side of the album includes the first three songs. "Rome", "Fly", and "Carpe Diem" are excellent tracks and are worth the price of admission alone.
