Vanishing Point: Tangled In Dream (Re-issue)

Originally released in 2000 the melodic metal album Tangled In Dream has been given a re-issue after being out of print for some time, and so in 2017 album number two for the Australian progressive group Vanishing Point will be made available once again. This time around Tangled In Dream have been released as a 2CD set with the second disc presenting rare and previously unreleased songs, so there is a lot of material up for grabs right here with twenty one tracks. Vanishing Point got the right mixture of guitars, keyboards and powerful/moving vocals and enough variety in the material. The standout track for myself would have to be "Father (7 Years)" a moving and extended shifting song, and it's interesting to compare track two "Samsara" with that re-recorded new version "Samsara II" on the bonus disc where it's boosted by symphonic touches and that improved sound.

Enjoyable while it lasts as those whom were fortunate enough to hear it previously will know, and whilst Vanishing Point's strongest album Tangled In Dream isn't as the Australian band just keep going from strength to strength with each subsequent release. As demonstrated with their excellent last and fifth album in 2014 Distant Is The Sun an album that appeared almost seven years after their prior full length as the band endured through some tough times. If you aren't new to the band and yet to experience Tangled In Dream then now is your chance with the extras being a welcome bonus. As for those whom are yet to hear Vanishing Point then any of their three following releases namely Embrace The silence, The Fourth Season or Distant Is The Sun are the better place to start.
