Great review

I basically agree with everything, I think. One funny thing I discovered when I first listened to this is that I'm absolutely sure I have an old module file (tracker music files of old) which has the interesting little bit from about 2:00 into Edge of Twilight in it and so that evoked some real nostalgia with me. I think my favourite tracks are Pantagruel's nativity or Black Cat, but yeah - as you say, songs like Wreck are insanely catchy.

All in all a great album, only good songs. Interestingly, I found this little piece of trivia on the album's last.fm page :
