Three words: Buy it now,

It contains all six of Ralf's Blue Dawn tracks in reworked form, with new titles, as well as the Iguana composition + a part of Rockface (Parabola?)

The guitarist is great, but certainly no Edgar. In one track Edgar is replaced by a darker Linda Spa type sax-line

The tracks are uninterupted so you get 67 minutes of unbroken music.

The best is a new track called Into The Thunder, a very bombastic tune, with fantastic CAMEL like minimoog solos and great rhythmic changes.

I would say it's a must for fans of Blue Dawn and Rockface, it's still a very clean sound, but a damn fine album

But still it's much better and continuus album than Blue Dawn. 9/10

My favourite Blue Dawn track, Cardamom Route, is called Paradise Island here! (It's not a reality tv show)

Cheers mate, nice review. Btw are you going to review it again and say the first one wasn't what you intended?

I wouldn't even call the above a review, just "thoughts"

Just finished listening to this and it's excellent as JP says.

Brilliant album and any fan of late 80's TD should love it. I certainly do....the best TD album TD never made.

Looking forward to this arriving later in the week.

I think it's ridiculous that RW now releases a COPY of Blue Dawn that shortly after working together with Edgar on the original version.

Nobody heard something from Ralf since many many years and Edgar made a successful collaboration with him in 2006. Now in 2008 Ralf is releasing the stuff again with a facelift and in TDish style and telling us that he wasn't satisfied with the first version of Blue Dawn.....????.
Is this respectful towards Edgar?
What does Edgar think about it? Does he know this?

It would have been more honest if Ralf had composed something new and different instead of copying again. With a totally new CD he could have shown who RW is.
That's my honest opinion. A chance missed.

I don't care about the story. I think Edgar's tracks on Blue Dawn are dull, so I'm very happy for this excellent release. It's the music I'm interested in.

What do you care about in general? I don't think that your musical taste is the best
and sometimes I wish you would spare us your childish comments here.

Blue Dawn is a 'TD work' and not an Edgar or Ralf work. It's made in the spirit of TD. You always unnecessarily divide things.....
I think both compositional contributions are excellent -
sometimes it's not enough to only FEEL music, but to UNDERSTAND music.

Hope you got it.

my musical taste is fantastic, I defy anybody to have the Spice Girls and Conrad Schnitzler in the same collection...and own up to it.

keep enjoying the music JP!

To Nero (whoever you are)

Contrary to others, I don't apologise all that Edgar say or do. Call it my nature, but I am entitled to say my opinion, and so are you.

Childish? I work with kids as a living, and trust me, people has a lot to learn from kids.
