Well for sure there are alot, too many... depends on the listener. IMO, he went for the safe bet; do something he knows well (chill out, downtempo) rather than just make a whole Trance album with alot of uncreative ideas.
Personally, it's not the best I've heard from him but atleast there is still some interesting stuff that isn't a waste of time. Sure, we all wish there were gems like his older stuff but I guess he just doesn't have those kinds of ideas anymore.

It is true that Iconic Path may not be Chronoscale 2.
Most of the tracks are downtempo with only 2 two fast epic tracks:
Vital Spark (140 bpm) & Asarja (137,8 bpm). All the rest is probably under 130.
Chronoscale had a great mixture of mostly downtempo tracks on the first CD and fast tracks on the very impressive but more commercial second CD. Iconic Path is only one CD and is mostly downtempo tracks.
But wowww this CD is great! Beautiful is an euphemism, all tracks gave me a kind of feeling I last experienced when listening to Chicane's "Far From the Maddening Crowds"...
My criticism is that the album begins to loose steam after the one hour bar, that is after track 10.
But I am glad I bought it, and a signed copy on top of that!

Haha, i'm always reminded of Chicane's "Behind the sun" when i hear iconic path. I really like the album.
Retrovision is my absolute favorite

Just wanted to bump up this thread...
Iconic Path really deserves more attention on this forum.
