This is a mighty accomplishment for an unsigned artist who has had to finance the recording himself, so credit where credit is due, Steberl knows exactly where and when to impress the listener and not to impress and just let the melodies flow, which keeps this album fresh and exciting.

The best tracks are the opening track 'Nightmare On Bald Mountain', see if you can spot his influences, I hear elements of Michael Fath, Shawn Lane, Eric Johnson, Jason Becker and Marty Friedman in his music, in fact 'Nightmare' features some chunky chopin riffage that could almost be the band Cacophony featuring the afformentioned Becker and Friedman, there is so much musicality playing throughout this song, as you can probably tell this is not your usual guitar album, check out 'Sahara Skies' another gorgeous song that plays with satisfying effect thanks to the added inclusion of the piano which is played by Chris himself. The feel of this song gives off European influences, also in -smegging- credible is 'Mozart's 25th Symphony In Gm (Amadeus).This is where the classical compositions come into full force, this song is quite fun and changes mood every so often, keeping the listener interested and entertained right to the very end, lets also not forget the relaxing 'Silk 'n' Honey' with it's gentle and calming theme reminding me of Eric Johnson.
