Before I even listened to this, I figured it would never live up to the great Birds of Fire. I was right, yet at the same time I had underestimated this album. Power of Love absolutely floors me, John McLaughlin's acoustic techique is incredible. Many of the compositions feature a lot of orchestral/synth sounding stuff which I was not a fan of, although fortunately for you the listener, the "worst" songs on here are also the shortest. While the last track breaks the 19 minute mark, it shines as the second best track. (Power of Love is extraordinary). I highly recommend picking this up, although I prefer Birds of Fire.

A mixed bag. The parts with just the orchestra and the choir, like the entirety of Smile of the Beyond suck. However, when Luc-Jean and Mclaughlin pick it up and go ham trading iff crazy leads this album is at its peak. The orchestra sounds amazing when backing them up, and even during short interludes. Too much album revolves around orchestral and electric parts that sound entirely separate hurting it in the long-run.
