*. Life Line Project .*

Album: Time Out (1995)
Genre: Prog Rock (Symphonic/Crossover Prog)  /  Holland

Recorded on 8 analogue tracks only, "Time Out" by the Dutch Life Line Project, offers a surprisingly well succeeded sound quality. Naturally i would have preferred if the Tama acoustic drums had been used on all tracks, in stead of the Roland electronic drum kit used in the larger part of the songs, but the overall sound quality has a pleasant transparency. The over 20 minutes lasting instrumental "Behind The Curtain Of Your Mind" has everything a lover of melodic symphonic rock wants, filled to the brim with excellent themes, perfectly executed on keyboards and lead guitars. Bonus track "Across The Lines" is in the same vein and also armed with a superb Spanish guitar solo in the middle section. It's hard to believe that all instruments are played by one man, Erik de Beer. The voclas by Maron Brinkman-Stroetinga are pure and well-sung. Songs I particularly liked: "I Miss You Now", "All You Need Is Bluff" and the jazzy "Just A Thought". Originally recorded and produced in 1995, this is certainly one of the better Life Line Project albums! Review by "VintageST (Guy)" (Prog Archives).

RATING:  7.75 / 10
