It's an album of unused material from previous albums, isn't it? Rerecorded maybe. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
I've heard nothing to that effect. Based on writing credits and some other info I doubt it.Originally Posted by JKL2000
No, most of the material is brand new, although the closing epic Chrysalis was a song Michel started working on many years ago when he was only about 20 years old but didn't go back to until now. Also, the song Dare To Dream was written by singer Jean Pageau before he joined the band.
I know this because I interviewed Michel on Wednesday this past week and had a nice conversation with him about this album among other topics. My article will appear in the September issue of the Classic Rock Society magazine.
I like all Mystery albums, but I honestly think this is the best one yet!

Instabuy. Love this band. I've enjoyed ever one of their albums.
This sounds really decent. My friend saw Mystery In Ottawa last Fall (I think) and said the show was amazing. I had thought about going so I realize I missed something special. Progatron,I look forward to reading your article. the guitar playing stands out and I like the vocals.
I thought for sure I'd read something to this effect, but I must be mistaken. I'm glad, I certainly prefer an all-new album!
Yes, they are a more guitar-oriented band with not a lot of lead keyboard stuff. I agree that the vocalist (Jean) is very strong, and brings something new to the table with his flute playing. The last album Delusion Rain was excellent, and although this one is very similar in style, I think it tops it. There are some powerful moments that really make you stop and listen, and it's often a strong melody that causes it, as opposed to some ferocious bit of playing. I hope you like the article when it comes out, I worked hard on it, as I really want to give this fine band as much good press as I can.

Will the article be available to read online? Or is there a digital version of the magazine I can buy? Looking forward to the interview regardless!No, most of the material is brand new, although the closing epic Chrysalis was a song Michel started working on many years ago when he was only about 20 years old but didn't go back to until now.

Many of those have interview features I've done.

No problem! The current issue is just arriving with subscribers now (with my Don Airey and Ted Leonard interviews) so this Mystery one won't be until the next issue obviously, but I'll remind people when it is printed.

Yes, excellent band and album. Jean also adds some nice keyboard stuff live. Talented guy and a great fit for the band.
They have been remarkably consistent.
This one might be my favorite!!!

Been on board since "Beneath the Veil of Winter's Face" in '07. Saw that iteration at FMPM with Benoit. I've enjoyed all the releases since then and dig the new vocalist.
The new one is pretty much on par with "Delusion Rain". The band has had an amazingly consistent run of albums over the decades. Here's an album review if you're interested. I'll have an audio interview with Michel up in another week.

Enjoy!
I wish I could be a fan but the music just does not resonate with me. I do consider Michel a friend though and wish him all the success in the world. He's really done well with this band and his fan base is growing the world over. Good guys don't always finish last.

Please let us know when it's up!
I subscribed to Classic Rock for a year and really liked it. But it's a bit pricey to get in the US (about $70/yr). I wish there was some less expensive way to get it.It's a real, honest to goodness magazine.

Absolutely obsessed with this album. I’ve listened to it on repeat about 15 times over the last couple weeks while reading.
Yep, that's my feelings on Mystery, they make great music but only to listen to while doing something else.
Someone asked that I post my interview with Michel when it's published, which happened today, though the interview was done about 6 weeks ago. Here is the link:

Thanks for the link, that was a good interview!
Another fine album from Mystery. Not as good as Delusion Rain, but not far behind.
