    This is a special EP release from the band formerly known as Sinical Glance. The name changed but the music is still symphonic rock. What makes this record special is that it's a CD-R only available for the really interested as the main focus of it is promotional use. So, it's quite exclusive. The last song is an old recording taken from Sinical Glance's rock-opera Truth Or Delusion: Song Of Mary. Now the main vocal duties are taken care of by female singer Marrieke van Veelen. The other three songs were recorded live. And it's a perfect recording in the sense that you'll get the perfect impression of the live sound of this band and their musical achievements on stage. I saw them live twice in the last ten months so I guess I know what I'm talking about. The music is fascinating, atmospheric, sometimes a little heavy, but most of the time dreamy in a way. It's the sort of music to sit and listen to. It could be heavier to my idea. Their instrumental capabilities are solid as shown on this EP. What you'll hear is what you'll get. Besides, Marrieke has a beautiful voice that fits the music well.
