Jari Mäenpää feedback: “TIME II is an epic adventure from mild to darkness and again to mild, exploring the universe and effort, contrasting darkish stormy landscapes to calm and lovely cherry blossom tree gardens with misty, snowy mountains that can go away you breathless. It has songs with livid pace of drums, guitars, and bass and lovely melodic slower songs with a paranormal unique affect. It has large orchestrations and choirs spiced with historical global tools and glimmering synths. It has Jari’s hovering, blank making a song contrasted along with his competitive taste. This is a extremely detailed and complicated album the place you’ll to find new issues with each concentrate.”
