This sublime album convinced me that prog still is a good thing after all - an experience that got quite rare in this millenium. Hey, this is REAL MUSIC, meticulously assembled from wonderful motives, and put into a splendid whole by using the largely forgotten art of polyphonic arrangements. But wait... what about the 14-minute epic? Is it... or is it not... well, what should I say... it's an epic like it should be! Not a single minute is wasted with whacky-proggy nonsense. Prog perfection! Phew, who would have thought that I would use these very words - so many decades after "Atom Heart Mother"?! Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)

We'll see if Dan Britton will be able to conclude his ambiguous concept of 7 interweaving albums but so far, he fails to disappoint. So. Lunarians is the other sub-tier (?)/parent (??) album to Oceanarium (the other one was Heliotians)... Whatever, the music is great again :-) Carsten Pieper

The album takes off nicely with David Longdon's "The Strangest Times", but then gets into immediate free fall and deeply underwater for the next few tracks, quite unexpectedly. Fortunately, it recovers with Nick D'Virgilio's "Apollo" (hey, this guy CAN write good music, although he hides this ability most of the time) and the remaining three tracks, one of which is another Longdon masterpiece. So in the end the final impression is somewhat in the positive range. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
