Gabry Ponte has shown his talent with Eiffel 65, but now he's taken it a step further with his own solo work. This album is absolutely wonderful, and features a wide array of song styles from dance, trance, and even some darker songs. But they are all awesome and any Eiffel 65 fans will enjoy. As for the songs:
1. '
Man in the Moon'--This song is beautiful, and Jeffrey Jey's vocals are stunning. It's a very deep track with poetic lyrics and a mellow sound, and has an Eiffel 65 feel to it.
2. '
Geordie'--The Italian version of 'The Story of Geordie'. Awesome song all around with an extremely catchy sound to it. It's sure to get people up and dancing.
3. '
Got to Get'--Not my favorite song on the album, but is still very cool. It's very energetic and fun to listen to, and seems quite fitting for a dance club.
4. '
Sharm Cafe'--This song is unique and has a distinctly Italian sound to it. It's a little less intense than 'Got to Get', but is still lively, energetic, and fun to listen to.
5. '
Time to Rock'--A great dance track and one that Gabry has become known for. It's a pure dance song and I never get tired of listening to it.
6. '
Always on My Mind'--I'm not crazy about this song, but it does have a more melancholy sound to it. The lyrics and vocals are lovely, but otherwise it's not one of my favorites.
7.
'Waterfall'--This is a beautiful and deep trance song, and shows that Gabry can extend his talents to different areas of dance music.
8. '
De Musica Tonante'--A unique and interesting sounding dance track. It's very cool, and almost reminds me of video game music. Still, it's great to dance to.
9. '
My Butterfly'--I love this song. It has a creepy, almost dark feel to it, and the vocals are haunting. It changes from very intense in the beginning and then mellows out during the verses. Gabry touched a darker side of dance music with this song, and it is well done.
10. '
Le Voyage'--I would consider this a trance song because of the very deep, mesmerizing sound to it. The lyrics are in French and a little bit of English, which is very different for an Italian artist like Gabry. That doesn't take away from the beauty of this song, though, and it's very poetic.
11. '
Memories'--This song reminds me strongly of Eiffel 65's music, and is a wonderful track. It is somewhat nostalgic and very catchy. The vocals fit perfectly with the melody and the lyrics are once again poetic and well-written.
12. '
Midnight'--This is a dark, almost industrial-sounding song. Gabry writes some darker stuff, and this is a great example. It is deep and slower than some of the other tracks, but has a delightfully creepy sound to it.
13. '
Terra Libera'--I think this may be the most melancholy track on the album. The words are extremely poetic and thought-provoking, and the message of the pain caused by war is clear. Overall, it's a wonderful song.
14. '
The Story of Geordie'--This is my personal favorite on the whole album. It's a great dance track, and the lyrics are very interesting. It was adapted from the traditional Scottish song about a man who is going to be hung by a golden chain, and I think it is masterfully done. I could listen to it over and over again without tiring of it.
