    Honestly, had never heard of this man. Figured, "Hey must not be too bad if its recommended of Haken..." So I decide, let's give it a whirl... I'm 3 songs in, and my jaw is still at the last stop light as i happened to look out the window just as the piano trickles in around 15:40, its just so beauitful. needless to say this is, as each song plays, becoming one of my favorite albums, and this is still the first listen through. absolute brilliance. well done.

    This is awesome! I love those psychotic riffs on Pupa/Cocoon and Twisted Shadows.
    Someone mentioned Guthrie Govan. I think you have something in common - not only can you shred like crazy, but like in 4:47 you can make highly technical guitar lines sound so, for want of a better word, "tasty".
    And calling a guitar "tasty" reminds of Macron trying his best to thank in English the Prime Minister of Australia and his _delightful wife_ and instead saying "your delicious wife".

    This is bloody amazing. I listened to this album in one go yesterday, and I have to say that you somehow manage to sound like what my music sounds like - in my dreams. I want to get to that point of experimentation one day (while still making enjoyable music, like yours definitely is).
    And you know... I listen to this fantastic album and I realize: this was written by this down to earth man who saw me in my Haken shirt before your concert in Graz and said "Hi!" to me in a way that made me feel like you really appreciate every single one of your listeners. Well, I've certainly been a Haken fan for a long time, but now that I know your solo project, I'm also a Richard Henshall fan. Please never stop amazing us mortals!
