The CD contains four new and five tracks from &#8220;old&#8221; albums. In the calm, new tracks, there are sometimes a lot of layers. The (stacked) vocals are balanced with the music. You can hear emotion in both vocals and music. Most turns are gradual. There are light rocking, but also minimalist parts. The balance between the light classical and the other instruments is very good. So is the alternation and\/or interplay between acoustic and electric guitar playing. The &#8220;choral singing&#8221; is beautifully added. Of the older songs, &#8220;Room 101&#8221; is perhaps the most impressive. Also in the songs that follow, the blend\/interchange between classical and rock is sublime. The renewed songs match well together. &#8216;Strings From The Edge of Sound&#8217; is a fantastic light classical-oriented prog- rock album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(9\/10) (Own Management)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maxazine.nl\/2023\/09\/17\/album-recensie-overzicht-2023-week-36-2-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"217\" height=\"59\" data-attachment-id=\"8382\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/kessel-tamerus.nl\/Esthers_Blog\/rock\/paul-numi-parallel-lives\/attachment\/maxazine_2022\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kessel-tamerus.nl\/Esthers_Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Maxazine_2022.png?fit=217%2C59&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"217,59\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Maxazine_2022\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kessel-tamerus.nl\/Esthers_Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Maxazine_2022.png?fit=217%2C59&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kessel-tamerus.nl\/Esthers_Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Maxazine_2022.png?resize=217%2C59&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8382\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center;
