Chronicles Of The Waking Dream

by Arcane

supported by

Ante Machiedo An album so eclectic and creative that stands on its own without a necessity to be categorized and boiled down to a so called progressive metal moniker. Lyrically enigmatic, emotionally diverse, it's simply a masterpiece. Favorite track: Fading.

V_Shaft Arcane was a wonderful melodic prog metal band, which split up and the members formed 2 other great bands: Caligula's Horse and Echotide. That would make Arcane some kind of supergroup :)

This is great music, and beautiful production with good dynamic range. Mandatory to be in every prog fan's library.

Dynamic Range Value: DR8 Favorite track: The Seer.

cheryl1965 The keyboard player captivates me. The story's not bad either. I like the different styles of music. Favorite track: Asylum: Acolyte Zero.

Serge Villemure Great CD. I just downloaded it from this site. I also purchased Known-Learned early this year, another superb CD, musically and lyrically. Congratulations to the band!

Pie Second favourite: "Secret" Favorite track: Fading.

Edward Nenedzhyan Awesome prog, you guys deserve the best! I wish you'd exit your hiatus, but I feel that can only come naturally. Continue to rock, guys! Favorite track: Fading.
