ibelantakis Great album from a great Greek-Cypriot band!!! Porcupine tree(the band) lovers should listen to this album immediately !!! Favorite track: Twist Your Spirit.

Harry Harrison This album is a “Grower”. That means that I didn’t like it on my initial listen but as I listened to it to write a review the album grew on me. I wouldn’t have brought this album but it came with the discography & I’m so happy that it did because I wouldn’t have brought it as a one-off. Now it’s one of my albums that gets a lot of air-time. A little less ‘Built To Spill’ but has ‘Floyd’ & ‘Junip’ flavours to it. Great Arabic overtones to some songs. This is one well rounded album. Favorite track: Bain Marie.

Bain Marie 04:31
All this pain is unbearable Feels like emptiness It prevails Distant trees, just like sugar pills We succumb to these, We might fail So we fade, To the grandeur of mistake We succumb to empty days Yet we embrace it all Phosphine dreams, manic memories We get sucked in them, Down in haze Distant trees, just like sugar pills We get fond of these, Crumbs of fate So we fade, To the grandeur of mistake We succumb to empty days Yet we embrace it all You run for your life You choke on your lies Now run for your life Your life, your life
2.
Worthy or damned, Don’t really care Holding my spirit high, I’m already there Never been made, Rid of the rest I’m going way way down, in my sad, hollow cell Twist your spirit, love your all, Twist your spirit, sell your soul Twist your spirit, love your all, Holding on, holding on This manmade hole Swallows you whole Thrives on our pending hope, Yet we fake all we know Misguided youth, Bathing in fear Suppress our wildest wish For a dive in blissful tears Twist your spirit, love your all, Twist your spirit, sell your soul Twist your spirit, love your all, Holding on, holding on Come now n break your cage Sip on the tea of fate Don’t fool yourself to stay Come now don’t make me wait Come out and break your cage All that has been has changed
3.
Brothers 05:17
Hey brothers look away, our sacred truth is bluntly raped Hey brothers don’t you mind, the kids will gladly fight our fight Hey brothers let it rain, lay your fury, scorn your rage Hey brothers raise your glass It’s just a fuck up anyway Hey father damn this play, it was never meant to be this way Hey mother love me back, I’ll fight my demons, don’t give up Hey brothers walk away Lay your fury, scorn your rage Hey brothers raise your glass It’s just a fuck up anyway
4.
Way above the unending sky Constellations shine on bright call it freedom, call it light Way above looking for hope hear them out, there’s something more call it freedom, call it home
5.
Painting 06:44
Every time that I loose my soul in chaos, I’m thinking of you Soaked in doubt and distress, I’m Broken, I’m screaming for you Endless mouth talk, it’s nonsense they’re ranting, I’ll let them go on Random pieces and images, I’m painting, now let me hold you We just loose ourselves in time, In another dimension we hide, Roll the dice and rise Just rise oh rise All comes down, to my golden cell, in idleness, I’m seeking my worth Is it real, I keep wondering, this big mess just keeps on going Hollow screams, on and on we go, they’ re ranting, please let them go on Random pieces all these images, I’m painting now let me hold you We just loose ourselves in time, In another dimension we hide, Roll the dice and rise Just rise oh rise
6.
She Flows 04:21
Marching on, To what feels wrong The knife cuts deep I don’t mind though Strugglin' on my own Hanging from the edge The pressure feels too much I’m only feeling so numb When she flows Oh how she flows Aint nothing at all, The grip is so strong It feels I’m on hold I don’t mind though I am only fading out, I only come undone, This is too much I’m only feeling so numb When she flows Oh how she flows
7.
There you walk alone, And I’m gazing stranded Of all the things I lost, This bleeds the longest If you think that I’m fixating Don’t you mind me darling Pretend that we are in love, Let’s love our something Before we die I think I’m in control While my rooftop crumbles In all we think we know, Our mind just stumbles Questions come and go, do they know That the river’s running Pretend that we are in love, Let’s love our something Before we die
8.
The March 05:08
We marched across the seven sins, As if the sky belonged to us We drank the wine like it was blood But then we finally succumbed We sip on conium and laugh We sip on conium and laugh Forsaken lives, condemned to thrive Everything seems To slay our minds We head across a heady dent This foolish tribe will not repent We sip on conium and laugh We sip on conium and laugh We stand empathic In this lie We live to gratify our thirst we never think that we will die We march ahead but we are blind

"Κι όλο τούτο το παζλ που έφτιαξαν τα παιδιά από τη Λεμεσό είναι εντέλει ολότελα δικό τους, κάθε κομμάτι (του παζλ και του δίσκου) τους οδηγεί στην δική τους ξεχωριστή μουσική οντότητα και προσωπικότητα. Την οποία ξεδιπλώνουν με τον καλύτερο και με τον πιο αληθινό τρόπο στον δεύτερο δίσκο τους"

"Με κάθε επόμενο τραγούδι του δίσκου η μπάντα καταφέρνει να εξελίσσεται, πηγαίνοντας ένα βήμα παρακάτω, με αποτέλεσμα να μην περνάει ούτε ξυστά από το μυαλό σου η ιδέα να προσπεράσεις σε fast forward ούτε μισό τραγούδι"

"Ατμοσφαιρικό, ομιχλώδες, αλλά πάνω απ’ όλα σαγηνευτικό, το τονίζω πάλι το “Superfonica” είναι μια εξαιρετική δουλειά ψυχεδελικής ροκ που επιβάλλεται να ακούσετε. Εκτός αν φοβάστε τις εξαρτήσεις."
