Wonderful! ....and great review, really.

Beautiful, green. Really. In the judgment of Bert Ruiter's bass solo... we're two. :-)). Ah, at least he plays it here. I heard that on "Moving Waves" all the bass parts weren't played by Cyril Havermans but... Jan Akkerman! (source: Thijs van Leer!). Greetings.

A more than dignified work that, once in a while, makes you think that reunions don't necessarily have to produce disappointed expectations. mj64's review is more than good; it's pleasant, comprehensive, critical, and precise. I refer, as the author does at the end, to the listening of the following album, "9/new skin." The mere presence of the new, extraordinary guitarist Niels Van Der Steenhoven deserves particular attention. Furthermore, in my opinion, the work finds moments of great lyricism. The band, in their only concert in Italy in nearly forty years of activity (Trieste - Summer Rock Festival - end of July 2010) was still able to excite and convince the large audience (not a small feat!). Once again, a round of applause to the attentive (and not so "babbione":-)) ) author of the review.

I apologize, but I'm only now, with a sense of guilt, reading the comment from Mozart 61, which I greatly appreciate. I would say it is a very welcome “mini-review” within the review, which well describes (and in a remarkably concise manner) a work that, now five years later, proves to have retained its strengths and extraordinary expressive capacity. After all, only time will tell if this work can still be considered such. Thank you, Mozart61!

I can only thank uxo for the quote. I must confess that I am literally stunned. I also refer to, for example, dolphy's comment, which is all too relevant and, I would say, necessary, regarding the syntax, which I would say is practically absent. The rhythm is dramatically lacking. The total absence of style is, I suppose, the most disheartening note of a pseudodescriptive analysis that has left me astounded. I'll stop here. Please forgive me for the perhaps excessive harshness, but here enthusiasm has taken the place of music.

I can understand perfectly! A smile to you. A little tear instead for the latest things from Haslam and for the recent (well, not exactly very recent, eh) "Tuscany." It really seems that the ancient vibes have definitely faded away...

@ jack daniel's : :-DD. @trilobita: despite the smile, even for Jack's witty remark, don't worry, I seriously appreciated your knowledgeable and focused note, which is nothing to scoff at. I actually would have liked to handle it personally, but... well, you took care of it. Cheers!

Well done, trilobite! For the sake of precision, of course! :-)

I honestly don't know what the objective value of a three-star review on Debaser is, but I certainly know what mine is, which is that it’s a decent and sufficiently comprehensive dissertation. Certainly not negative at all, in fact.

There is a certain difference between the two bands. It probably lies in a certain "brightness" of the sound of the more well-known Renaissance. It is also undeniable that the trademark of Annie Haslam's voice MAKES the most obvious difference. This is a good work that has the only flaw of having sown a lot and having harvested little. The second "Illusion" has little depth, as far as I can remember. The subsequent band of Relf - the Illusion - would have deserved more, in my opinion. It's worth noting that the splendid keyboardist John Hawken collaborated with Dave Cousins' Strawbs with significant results.
