"This Italian band is formed by great musicians,the bass player Deho being the soul of the formation.it shows why the european power metal bands from Italy are along with those from the norselands the best today. I had to listen to this cd about 10 times until I realized how good it was,its a complex style,now it's among my favorites,this is a very detailed album which is a tipical thing in this style of music, having a combination of progressive rock with heavy metal and the distinctive use of a tenor sax ( one of the things that brought my attention to this Band ) and latin rythmical instruments blended with the percussion which happens to be beautifully recorded,clean and great sound that has a powerfull touch to it with great lirics and with the participacion of Andrè Matos from Angra.for all the power metal fans this comes highly recommended. If you like this cd I also recommend the band "Symphony X""
A conceptual album that delivers the goods

"Time Machine is an Italian Band, which consists of vocalist Nick Fortarezza, guitarrist Joe Taccone, bassist and main composer Lorenzo Deho`, drummer Nick Rossetti and STeve Della Giustina in keyboards and tenor sax. This is their third release, a conceptual album that treats about the time of Jesus, his death at the cross and the thoughts he may have had. The concept is very suitable for the music, which is very melodic and thought evoking. But remember that Time Machine is basically a Heavy Metal band, and many of the tunes in this disc are all that and much more. The musicians we are talking about here are very talented, especially guitarrist Taccone and drummer Rossetti, which demostrate their skills not through complex solos but with excellent rythmic parts. A reference is the brazilian group Angra, whose singer Andre Matos composed one of the ballads (I Believe Again) and also included many latin percussion throughout the album. If you are a fan of Angra, I highly reccomend this album"
