The trip begins with a rain of shooting stars (30’), engines are starting and moving at the speed of light (45’).
We are searching for a new planet (1’40), facing an asteroid cloud (2’10), the light is dense (2’35).

The direction must be checked by searching on the map (3’), we are getting closer to the destination (4’10).
Spacecraft is slowing down, people are checking outside the ship, a presence of docile extraterrestrial life is detected (5’05).

”The spice extends life! ”
This is the last stretch before our destination : it’s the apotheosis (6’30).
Spacecraft is landing on an unknown planet (7’50).

Doors are opening, robots are talking (1’50).

Magma explodes, this is a volcanic soil (2’15).

Ground exploration (3’10), we can feel the adrenaline rush (3’40).
Then, this is time for reflection (4’).

Robots are dancing, there is a star dust at that time (4’15).
Musical patterns used are incredible (5’55).

The final part starts, soil samples are taken for analysis (6’20), now it’s the time to come back to the laboratory and then to rest.

The introduction is aggressive, there are stereo effects, it’s like a rain of stars.
A presence of hostiles is detected (2’), sounds are bright, there are many dangers nearby (2’55). A sudden passage in a magic tunnel like a black hole appears (3’40). “This is incredible”. There are spirals in the sky.

We are exiting from the protective dome (4’30).
All members of the crew are walking synchronized (5’40).
Sound melody is increasing (7’30 to 7’55)!

The climax is reached (8’22). This is perhaps the most impressive passage in all their discography. The final is perfect (9’15), it’s a piece of legendary music that will last forever.

This is one of my favorite songs.

Sounds are in volume, licked, very clean, even some acid sounds in it, it moves a lot, tremors arised, we explore the seabed.

A break at 3’15, “So beautiful”.

We follow marine animals which guide us towards a treasure buried for millennia (3’45).

The treasure dazzles us with its beauty, then embalms and warms us (4’50).
It is time to wake up, this dream was incredible.

It contains a buddhist mantra sample that means that purity of mind, body and speech is acquired through wisdom.

A walk is in progress through a pilgrimage to purify oneself.
Then, we dance near temples during a warm-up. We gradually enter into meditation.

A call is made in order to regroup, we help each other (3’30).

Typical sound layers loaded (4’), there are incredible stereo effects, we climb a temple to enter into mindfulness meditation (5’50).
A ray unites us, sounds roll (8’).

Drilling is ongoing (4’50 to 5’30).

There is a transition, underground navigation starts (6 to 6’40).

Central core is detected (7’10 to 7’45).
Information are spent to the main station.

Particles of plasma are moving around the sun thanks to a solar wind,
continuing increase of the main melody like only Avi & Lior know how to master.

The sounds increased its strength and intensity, there are no words to describe it.

We are discovering the way the sun exists, we feel the energy of hydrogen and helium.

On our way back to earth, having a smooth ride, the crew is satisfied with the job done.

This track is a gem and brilliantly ends this epic album.

A gentle heat surrounds the shuttle, the engine quickly charging thanks to its solar panels.
Inside everything is shining and vibrating to the rhythm of the cosmos.

This is an historic moment, a sensational discovery has just been made.

The shuttle starts entering the Earth’s atmosphere, so this completes this very first review.
