Dark Tranquillity were on a constant move in search for their identity as a band since the very start, but the fourth longplay [1999] has turned out to become a far more ambitious and daring move drifting away from typical scheme of things: not fully satisfied anymore with just playing fast, dynamic and harmonious, they slightly slowed the pace down to involve calmer atmosphere, filling up the space with clean singing, more experimental parts, electronic accents and even psychedelic touch, thus expanding on already diverse and intricate paradigm; recent German slipcase re-issue comes with a remastered sound, completely new artwork and four bonuses, including previously unreleased Asleep in the Bandaged Light song
