Review by olpa
hello unfold the future was, for me, a real masterpiece. i like daniel's vocals and the fabulous rhythm section with the jazz rock dimension. devils playground, rolling the dice are marvellous. i was very exciting to listen the new cd for the 1st time but, in fact, i was terribly deceived. return to the much classic music as on "rainmaker" but after 10 listenings i've to admit it's certainly my favorite with "unfold" in a more classic rock way i like the epics "drivers seat"'with hasse froberg vocals and rock section which remembering me some stuff of the who on who's next and quadrophenia. other epic "love supreme" is also very good and i like metal mind in "adam& eve" with daniel's vocals.in conlusion, it's really a very good record you have too listen for many times to like it. olpa "excuse me for my english"

Review by VampiroAngelico
Entirely awesome! As simple as that. TFK have released their best effort ever, to my advice. I completely disassociate from those reviewers who nitpick their music, calling it uninspired, boring, convenient (?).... I loved it since my very 1st listen and yes, it does bring to 70's Genesis and Yes memories, but that, ladies and gentlemen, is the biggest reason why I listen to progressive rock, simply because Yes and Genesis are and have been incapable of giving us quality CDs since the early 80's, so now we have bands like TFK, Spock's Beard (until Neal Morse left)and Marillion (which, by the way, don't sound like Genesis since Fish left, but Steve Hogarth is the most awesome singer ever). I like everything about the album, and the more I will listen to it, the more I'm sure I'll keep finding likeable details about this masterpiece. I like Roine's guitar style, as it's never boring or repetitive, keys are the most progressive I have heard in a long time....probably since Spock's Beard's Beware Of Darkness.... Incredible, as always, bass and drums. The opener Love Supreme sounds like Yes, a little bit like from the Going For The One album, which is a great thing for a progressive band, and will make me like them all the more. I love the idea of having a whole song (or most of it) in 9/4 tempo, keeping the same tempo even during the changes in dynamics and arrangements. Absolutely brilliant! Great prog idea! Listening to the chorus, you almost have the feeling Jon Anderson's voice is in there, somewhere in the mix. Cosmic Circus is opening with a happy melody, on a simple chord progression, made very interesting by the background vocals and the always interesting TFK lyrics. Babylon tastes a lot like Genesis, and it's Wind & Wuthering time again! Grandiose Tony Banks influenced keyboard and Steve Hackett style guitars. A Vampire's View is priceless. Really makes you feel as if you are part of the story told, since the very beginning. Days Gone By brings me back to the 1800's, as if I was walking around a castle, searching for my youth....too bad this piano song is too short. Adam & Eve kicks some serious heavy metal ass! I love the high notes on the vocals! Starlight Man is a more intimate song, with a Yes-like chorus. Love it! Timelines almost takes a little bit of King Crimson-meets Gong-meets Gentle Giant-meets Jethro Tull. Drivers Seat, ladies and gentlemen, starts up in huge Genesis style!! Again, Wind & Wuthering and A Trick Of A Tail are the influence on here. Probably my favorite tune, as I'm the biggest Genesis nostalgic person ever! I get chills down my spine! After about 2 minutes and 30 seconds, the song takes up on a totally different style, great surprise. The Blade Of Cain is a TFK classic ending, great prog melodies! To me, no doubt, the album is a total 10! I wish there were more progressive bands like them. The last Dream Theater was very disappointing and Spock's Beard did lose their personality (Neal Morse).

МЕГАСУПЕРСПАСИБО! :punk:
эх, никому уже доверять нельзя! даже японцам! устроили они засаду на втором диске с началом второго трека. думалось (слышалось, вернее) мне что так и было задумано, но видать ошибка при мастеринге :fu:
т.е. 2ая дорожка начинается еще на 1ой, пауза на 2 секунды, продолжается дальше. нужно вырезат# эти две секунды и всё будет хоккей
но соответственно изменится и куй :(
если надо - можно выложить архив-фиксатор со всеми причиндалами :)

Надо.
I'm sorry for my english.
This problem is about not only second track, but allmost all tracks on second CD. :(
Some errors is visibly after function "zoom in vertically" in Your wave editor.
Last three tracks have not centered wave.
All pictures are before fixed.
Track 2
Track 3
Track 5
Track 6
Track 7
Track 8
And finally track 9
After cut gaps and centered waves cue file should looks like this

как видим паузы есть и там, и побольше чем с этого издания ;) паузы между 1м и 2м треком здесь нет, но это не имеет значения, т.к начало второго трека такое же "странное":
может и зря бочку катить на японцев! скорее всего такой был изначальный мастеринг - "рваный" звук в некоторых переходах :hi:
