Add your review here. Bardens finds his musical home Review written by John Fitzgerald, May 31st, 2005 Mick plays drums on the most commercial track here in "Whisper in the wind" a pleasing track with a soothing up beat atmosphere and you can tell when Mick's strong drums kick in. Tracks like the pulsing "Columbine" are fairly commercial as well but it's minor key dramatics are pretty banal in their forced urgency. "Gold" on the other hand, does work in it's dramatics. An up tempo attention grabbing plinker, it has fiery lead guitar bursts by Neale Heywood though the vocal parts were not needed. The opening "Westward ho" is a tooting howler, a haunting instrumental. "Black elk" is a Clannad type chanting beater though the lead vocals sound more of soft spoken David Gilmour (though not him of course). "This could be paradise" is a keys note bender with vocal title chants that again should've been cut out as the instrumental parts to this track are the best sections. "Afterthought" is a pretty piano chunking instrumental. It's short and repetitive but still a stirring highlight. The title track is a so-so up-ish track with light latter day Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music leanings, "Heartland" is a galloping, shaking electric piano led instrumental which sounds promising (in the hopes that it would be one of the best instrumentals) but unfortunately, I can't honestly say that as I think it's one of the poorest. It just doesn't go anywhere. "Gold (Reprise)" is a tasty instrumental burst of "Gold" which is almost preferable due to the unnecessary vocals (again) not being there but it's very short so it's little stance evens the two versions out at the end of the day. Regardless of the flaws, "Speed of light" is a well put together new age album that helped put Peter Bardens on top of his game again.
