On the space-rock dimension doubt, hyperactive quintet literally invested in this environment that surrounds much of the disc. The introduction of more than three minutes the aptly named 'The Curious One' sounds like the soundtrack of a "2101-The Voyage of the Cosmos" with this suffocating atmosphere and the eerie sound effects.Architect Sky revives very long pieces but unlike 'Deep Chasm' travel is stirred and stunning, mainly because of its convoluted structure and its dark tone. The piece develops a theme song to identically repeated and interspersed with wide dynamic atmospheric or instrumental sequences. If Sky Architect shows boldness in the way of architecting this imposing title remains timid in melodies and vocal harmonies rather easy not at the old compositions. The Dutch are more inspired and familiar in short pieces of "A Billion Years Of Solitude" as' wormholes', 'Tides' or too short instrumental' Jim's Ride To Hell. The heavy-prog psychedelic and space-rock resume cohabitation in the beautiful 'Elegy Of A Solitary Giant' and crazy 'Revolutions' (which proves, even if the demonstration is more to do, the technical ease of young Batavian) but this time the balance and cohesion among a much richer vocals and diverse instrumental passages are controlled. Final Album 'Traveler's Last Candle is a chiaroscuro jubilant and virtuosic form of a looping ethereal atmospheric sequences and powerful projections and convulsed, punctuated by a great chorus Wabe Wieringa. The first piece of "A Billion Years Of Solitude" does not facilitate immersion in this production, again dense and complex. The abandonment of jazz and Latin elements, providers of life-saving fresh for listening, reinforces the gravity and the opacity rule over the entire disk. More than for "Excavations Of The Mind" and "A Dying Man's Hymn" the auditor will be patient before they totally abandon this challenging and exciting work. More information on http://www. skyarchitect.com /
