"As VHB approach their 25th anniversary, to deliver a ninth album of such quality is a tribute to their prodigious talents and a devoted following. In a genre replete with lengthy, dense and opaque records that take multiple listens to 'click', it's refreshing to hear an album which through its 10 songs and 45 minutes, is great fun to listen to and immediately satisfying. Sonically fabulous too, there's plenty of subtlety here to reveal more nuance every time you hear it.

This is an exciting album that will have you air drumming, air guitaring, singing your heart out and when private opportunities present themselves, bouncing around the room like a loon! It's sure to stir your emotions; during its most touching moments, "In Murmuration" will bring a lump to the throat, but predominantly, this album will put a smile on your face and make you feel good." SJ-TPR

"If you like good solid Rock, with strong melodies, and lovely harmonies, that will get you tapping your foot, and pulling out your cell phone torch to hold it aloft and sway it at all the right points, then you'd better check this album out, because I can guarantee you'll like it. It's a strong contender for one of my favourite releases of the year." BM-EM

"This album is truly a testament to the kind of masterpiece Von Hertzen Brothers have shown time and time again they are more than capable of crafting together. A dynamic rock anthem album with wild progressive overtones!" tf-PA



Essential Track: "Wait For Me - One of the most wonderful parts of VHB last album (Red Alert in the Blue Forest) was the track All of a Sudden You're Gone. I didn't think they could out sing that one - but here it is. My favorite of this exceptional album. "Don't sail away just yet" Let us not forget each other. Time is fleeting - if one of us should perish - let us wait for the other, lest we be alone - perhaps I will go first - and if I do what will you do? I imagine we will all go to the small star in the sky somewhere at sometime. Enjoy every day and your time with family and reach out to your old friends. Even if you have none or no-one, you do with this personal and sweet album." tf-PA
