A glimpse at other reviews :

Harmonie, no. 44, Thierry Larroque (France)

(…) les cinq membres de Mikromidas placent la barre très haut avec un progressif extrêmement élégant, raffinè, sorte de morceau pop imparable (…)Décrire ce CD morceau par morceau me semble superflu. Ce groupe parait êntre sur le "circuit" depuis nombre d'années et a peut-être déjà atteint son "Tarkus". Pourvu que ce combo ne soit pas qu'une comète dans la galaxie où se bousculent trop de groupes bien plus médiocres. Attention, sur l'échelle de Richter, la secousse pourrait atteindre le maximum. On vous aura prévenu.

(...) the five members of Mikromidas place the bar very high with this extremely elegant, refined, progressive kind of pop piece. (...) To describe this CD in detail seems to me superfluous.  This group did their entry into the "circuit" a number of years ago and perhaps they have already reached their "Tarkus", provided that they are not only one comet in the galaxy where too many groups much poorer are hustled.  Attention ! On the Richter scale, the jolt could reach the maximum. You have been warned.

Prog-Resiste, no. 28, Fred (Belgium)

(...), Mikromidas a réussi son entrée dans le circuit progressif, d'autant que les cinq musiciens (dont deux guitaristes) maîtrisent très bien leur instrument. Croyez-mot. Voilà un groupe dont on reparlera, tôt ou tard! A écouter!!!

(...) Mikromidas made a success of their entry in the progressive circuit. The five musicians (of whom two are guitarists) control their instruments very well.  Believe my words.  We will surely meet this group again, sooner or later!  Hear them!!!

KOID9, no. 42, Stéphane Danrey (France)

(…) Pour conclure, cette honorable première æuvre, annonciatrice d’un groupe au potentiel musical consequent.

(...)  To conclude, this honourable first work shows the consistent musical potential of this group.

Big Bang, no. 42, Christian Aupetit (France)

Un premier album plein de vigueur et de fraicheur, avec des compositions qui vous entrent vite dans l´esprit mais dont vous pouvez découvrir les multiples subtilités plus en profondeur, bref une belle réussite et un groupe qu´on espère retrouver au plus vite.

A first album filled with strength and freshness, with compositions which quickly get on your mind, but where you can also discover more in-depth multiple subtleties. This album is a beautiful success and we hope to hear from this group again as soon as possible.

Highlands Magazine, no. 18, Sébastien Monteaud (France)

Le chant en Norvégien ne gâche rien, j'en viens même à penser qu'il eut été dommage qu'il en fut autrement. En conclusion laissez-vous tenter par la musique de ces norvégiens, qui proposent pour leur première æuvre un travail de grande qualité. Belle réussite, et vivement la suite.

The fact that they sing in Norwegian doesn’t waste anything. I even think that it would have been a shame if they didn’t.  In conclusion ;  check out the music of these Norwegians, who present at their first attempt a work of great quality. It’s a beautiful success, and we look forward to the continuation.

Background Magazine, no. 78, Erik (Netherland)

(...) The element that lifts this album above the average level of CD’s is the compelling sound of the unsurpassed Mellotron and legendary Hammond organ along inventive guitar play. Most songs are layered with flute-, violin- and choir-Mellotron, what a thrill to hear all those majestic eruptions (…)

Wondrous Stories, no. 122, Bernard Law (G.B.)

There are nods towards bands such as Anekdoten, Landberk and Anglagard amongst others, but the fluidity of the playing and interaction between the musicians does give the release an independent feel (…) Well worth checking out!

IO pages, no. 36, Antonie Deelen (Holland)

Brennende Drømmer is gewoon een lekker symfonisch plaatje voor de retro-rockers onder ons.

Brennede Drømmer has become a beautiful symphonic disc for the retro rockers amongst us.

Wonderous Stories, no 18, Daniele Prati (Italy)

I riferimenti nordici ci sono tutti, ma i Mikromidas dimostrano buona personalità (...) I sinfonismi ci sono, ma la misura sembra essere la caratteristica principale della band. Un disco triste, oscuro, duro in alcune parti, ma che non porta mai nessuna di queste caratteristiche alle estreme conclusioni.

You will find all the Nordic references, but the Mikromidas demonstrates good personality (...) There are parts that resemble symphonic music, but the equilibrium seems to be the main characteristic of the band.  A sad, dark and in some parts hard disc, but it doesn’t bring any of these characteristics to the extreme conclusions.

Empire, no.36, Jürgen Meurer (Germany)

Die Keyboards fahren eher die Symphonik-Schiene und so überrascht es nicht, dass gerade die Mellotron-Einlagen im typisch-skandinavischen Stil für die rechte Stimmung sorgen - mal düster, mal bombastisch (...) Ein interessantes Album.

The key boards rides a rather symphonic rail, and not so surprising, the straight Mellotron inserts in the typical-Scandinavian style provide for the right tendency - sometimes dark, sometimes bombastic (...) an interesting album.
