In the world of the meridian. I can't help praising the cover first. Absolutely G.R.E.A.T. ! The album opens in front of me like an enchanted world , containing the pictures of the mysterious space, illusory dreams, pieces of the mystery beyond the borders of the language.  It's like an escape from your own memory...
„Echo” starts this imaginary way. I have an impression of the sun raising in front of my eyes. This awakening lasts during the second track. The gentle voices of Diana Röppnack (as a guest on the album) and  Riccard with the subtle melodies in the background make you feel optimistic. I recommend it to anyone who likes dreaming together with listening to the music and to those who like analysing lyrics. The adequacy of the pictures and lyrics is surprising. It's like meeting a mystery. To stimulate your curiosity even more I'll just mention that the pictures include the samples from the films, musicals ans tv series. Beautiful combination of the sound, the word and the film image. The track „Thieves of my Soul” drew my attention : it's a moving lamentation of the one missing something he hasn't experienced yet. The next is similar and yet different, a bit more optimistic  “Everchild”. Even in a dynamic  „Daybreak” there's a bit of melancholy, just like in many more. The melancholy, however, is so sophisticated that you won't be bored with it.  The  beautiful track ” The Great White” proves that. I felt shivers from the first sounds to the last ones. The last seconds of this track may change a lot in your imagination ....The last track is also a nice surprise.
