Andrew Roussak's music is a mixture of many genres: progressive rock, pop, classical, jazz.  His main influences are ELP and classical music.  Some of the songs are a mix of genres, while some are just classical, or just jazz.  As so many styles are present, the album is difficult to classify, although it could be called progressive rock just as easily as it could be called anything else.  It feels like Roussak is searching for a genre he feels comfortable in; despite some very good songs, one gets the sense that he's still searching.  Roussak is from Russia, and lives in Karlsruhe, Germany.  Joining Roussak are Hendrik Plachtzik on vocals and drums, Steffen Hehrer and Oliver Weislogel on guitars, Alan Graham on acoustic guitar and sax, Juergen Wannenwetsch on bass, and Sebastian Saeuberlich on drums.  The drums are often a bit weak and predictable.  The vocals are good but not great.  The highlight of the album is the piano and keyboards.  Some of the songs here are quite good, and definitely worth a listen.
