I never had any bigger expectations on this album, and I thought it would be pretty bad.
But it all turned out to be pretty good, and some of those tracks are really great. I've only listened to "Calling". "Cry For Help" is freaking great, and I love that guitar while the vocals makes the tune even better.
..and I'm currently laughing at their luanch party and that police

I didnt have high expectations for this AT ALL, but i gotta say this is not that bad. Except for "Hillside Climb" & "Cry For Help" its mostly ok. Nothing groundbreaking in any way though, but a decent effort.
Pretty downtempo, ideal for home listening, no abuse of vocals (except in "Cry For Help") no electro wannebe stuff (except maybe "Hillside Climb"). "Waiting" is abit cliché though: the vocal lyrics, the bassline, the structure of the track... Typical mcprog imo
Would give this 6/10

nice Intro with Waterdrop, highlight has to be Waiting with Jan Johnston, although an average track without her vocals.
Just a shame what could potentially be a quality piece of work with club mixes, is released on one of the slowest, least efficient, incommunicative labels there is

This is Andy Moor when he's actually pretty good, isn't it? I'll have to give it a look-see.
If you enjoy any of these sets and want to hear me live, I'll be playing a 2 hour progressive trance set at Basing House in Shoreditch, London on 11th October.
I'm also a resident at our bi-monthly party Kibosh in Manchester: https://www.instagram.com/kibosh.mcr/

Fantastic album! Actually one of few albums where there isn't a single song I don't like at all.. Calling, Communication and Everything Matters has to be my favourites.. 10/10

Well my opinion on this CD overall is that it's so-so.
My rating of it really declined with the track "Hillside Climb"... the bassline sounds so horrendous... it really, really leaves a sour taste in my mouth... I hate it when it plays.
But so stay on the positives, "Coming of Age" and "New Division" are really beautiful pieces of work. Very emotional, what I really love about prog trance.
Others worth mentioning which were above par:
"Waterdrop"
"Waiting"
Awesome potential for the lyrics. Seems as if I've heard them before (probably just the vocalist)... if not, definately requires remixes for those vocals.
