OK, I've listened to Dreamquest and I honestly think it kicks ass!! Excellent CD, but if you don't like symphonic metal with female vocals, think newer After Forever without the grunts, you won't like this album. There's also some electronic elements. Not electronic songs, but in addition to the guitars and everything there is some electronic effects. Great CD, though.
As for The Infinite Wonders Of Creation, I don't know, I just kind of skimmed each song and it does, in fact—like the rest of the MR guys said—sound weak. Very mid-paced and rock-oriented rather than power metal. I don't know. I'll give it another spin tomorrow, but I think it's safe to say that the Dreamquest CD is the better of the two.
Fair comment ...I had a few more spins of The Infinite Wonders Of Creation myself . Luca has definelty changed gears and gone for a more mid paced album in contrast to his first 2. I am not a real big fan of female vocals in metal but i taking a real shine to the female vocals in both of these albums.( Bridget Fogle) she looks scary but sound very good
