Fantastic album.
All my thanks to Edgar and Thorsten to give us so two great albums withmany masterpieces in this spring 2011.

I have the impression to hear Hoshiko on track 1 and Linda on track 3, but I don't find their names on the credits.
Is it a dream or reality?

:( Yes, I found it a little annoying not having who was playing on the album as I too hear violin but don't know if it is Hoshiko or Bernhard playing it. All we seem to learn is that EF composed 6 tracks and TQ 3. A fantastic album but, like Island of the Fay, a bit more info would be nice on the next one. :D

After listening to TAFTWW the second time over headphones, I must say that this is the best album that TD released during the last couple of years. Brilliant songs, great sounds, stunning rhythms and sequences. :D
I wonder how long they will hold this level of quality.

Fabulous release. Can't quite get my head around how it's possible for TD to release another brilliant album so close after The Island Of The Fay, but they have. Each track stands up on it's own and there's plenty of new and fresh ideas. Have to say that my favourite track is The Mysterious Gift To Mankind with it's lovely guitar solo played by EF but the rest of the tracks are all of a near equal high standard. Hopefully The Mysterious Gift To Mankind will get a live outing in the near future.

Anyone mentioned the cover yet? I think it's beautiful. Great work by Bianca.

was thinking that last night when having second listen. Very stylish cover. Like it.

Great album. Still preferring Island of the Fay at the moment, early days though, and some real great tracks on this.

For me, Angel From The West Window is a great improvement on the already wonderful Island Of The Fay ! 2 superb albums in quick succession, plus the Gate Of Saturn cupdisc. An excellent year so far, with more to come :!:

Played this again twice today and am still amazed by the compositions contained on it. Some of the best tracks for ages :)

For me, this is certainly the most consistently good album of recent years.
Others have had stand-out tracks with fillers, but this is good throughout.

Now, what's happened to the promised Finnegan's Wake CD :?:

It's ages since we had a new TD release :wink: :lol:

Have it now, after a first listen I am not thrilled yet. But tomorrow it will be listened some times more, so maybe I can give some more enthusiastic commend. :)
