That's my verdict:Originally Posted by Prog Head
'Transitions' is an apt name for the second release from TIME HORIZON. When comparing the band's axis to the previous CD, it's clear that the US formation had a number of personnel changes since 2011. Luckily, the major figure still remains Ralph Otteson who’s responsible for the songwriting, entourage of whimsical keyboards and backing vocals. At the moment, a primary line-up is complemented by Dave Miller (guitars) and Allen White (bass). Standing at the helm, Ralph Otteson also gathered a handful of guests, among whom I want to single out Yes alumni Tony Kaye, Billy Sherwood, plus David Wallimann (formerly Glass Hammer). Worthy of special note is Michael Mullen, violinist… The material on 'Transitions' falls into the listening scope of many different stripes. Time Horizon use a vast range of influences stretching from symphonic AOR to electronica, from bombastic sections to virtuoso guitar craze, from power pop to retro-flavored prog. Alternation of three lead singers (Bruce Gaetke, Rich Reif, Jake Livgren) increases the feel of manifold. The individual tracks weave together nicely to present an excellent stylized affair. Foremost, ‘Only One’ provides a strong impetus to the album. Expansive and consummately performed, this track is quite reminiscent of classic Asia, with a taste of bombastic passages and massive choruses. That's just the beginning. Next up, ‘Only Through Faith’. Having its own character, it brings a-la Vangelis mesmerizing sentiment. The sonic experiment segues to ‘Only Today’, where TH presents the other incarnation of Asia (John Payne era). In some extent, ‘Prisoner’ evokes Sweet Comfort Band ('Cutting Edge' period). A cover version of the World Trade song, ‘Moment Is Here’, follows subsequently. It contains a few Yes references, both in the instrumental department and harmonies. Music varies on the next track that deviates in route. Featuring emphatic riffs and acrobatic chord progressions, the instrumental piece ‘About Time’ could well be a Joe Satriani legacy. The album continues with a thickly arranged composition 'You're All I Need’ which resembles the style set forth on the debut CD. Then, a kind of peculiar experiment titled ‘River of Sorrows’. Generally speaking, if I had to find fault then it’d be that. The penultimate tune, another instrumental - 'Water Girl'. Comprising the mellow guitar awesomeness, it swings back and forth between Vinnie Moore and Joe Satriani. Though most importantly, the CD has a stupendous ending: ‘Love Is Here’ may be described as the greatest song Kansas never wrote. I am getting a chill up my spine!.. All in all, gracefully packaged (with an appealing image on the surface) 'Transitions' is a 56+ min. collection of impressive stuff that reflects the breadth of interests and sources of inspiration. Recommended.

Just a short update to let you know that Time Horizon are still in existence. There is a couple of new members aboard: David Mau (lead vocals, percussion, keyboards) as well as Roy Faria (electric and acoustic guitar). The reformed crew starts to work with some early ideas for third studio album.

Time Horizon are picking out ideas and developing some new songs for the next album. The lyrical content is still in a state of flux.

Work is in progress for such compositions as 'Only God Knows', A Walk Outside', 'Meet The Traffic', 'Passion For The Day', plus an instrumental piece (as a tribute to former bandmate who passed away last year). The band plan to complete the full album before the end of current year..

I was lucky enough to hear some demo material which sounds quite promising.. .
Some special guests are involved in the process of recording.

Nine finished songs so far. The band will be starting to mix them in month of September. There's one additional instrumental piece which may end up on a new album, if Time Horizon decide to use that. A working title of CD is 'The Great Divide'.
The singer Mike Sadler (Saga) and guitarist David Wallimann (ex-Glass Hammer); Michael Manring plays fretless bass.

Artist Ed Unitsky (TFK, Unitopia, Starcastle, The Tangent and many more) should add a visual touch to the new project.
New release should take place in the first half of 2021.
