Shamall takes the listener on an epic 144-minute cosmic voyage of mental introspection, a quest that involves "The Long Way from Hell to Heaven", "Outer Space", "Automatic Dance" and "Entering the Dark Zone" as "The Voyager" passes through various states of cosmic consciousness on this engaging and energized 1998 release.

The melodies are strong, full of clever hooks and attractive rhythms. Constantly in transition, shifting the melodies and enhancing the mix with even more clever riffs, the music is full of delightful sonic surprises.
