Description/Reviews
Layered, atmospheric laden keyboards driven passages is probably the most dominant trait throughout this album, both as shorter mood and atmospheric laden interludes but also as parts, and often substantial at that, of the longer compositions. A certain dream-like atmosphere runs like a red thread throughout this CD, and given it's name and background I'd remark that in this particular context, this is a case of mission accomplished. That the album contains some rather fine arrangements is also noted.

Description/Reviews
The 5th album of Japanese Progressive Rock Unit. This album is a total concept album of 16 tracks 62 minutes long, It takes the listeners to a great and profound journey from dark side struggling to the light side filled with hopes and strength. Being based on a historical fact, it's trying to consider the serious matters of this world today. The sound's first impression may be symphonic one influenced by British Prog-rocks, but there contained various elements of music and the traditional Japanese lyricism could be found in the English lyrics expressing deep emotions using nature-descriptions.

Description/Reviews
This Accept ’s 4th album is recorded mainly by analog-tape recorder and vintage-like digital process. It may sounds like the 1st album “Silvermoon” but this time the sound color varies so wider like 2nd and 3rd ones, from symphonic to ambience, from abstract to concrete. That is the reason why Accept itself calls its own music “Pan Music”. Being based on British hard and progressive rocks, at the same time ethnic, experimental and many elements have been involved in it.
