Illusions is absolutely extraordinary. Beautifully epic, you will be amazed at how good it is
4 July 2011
Format:MP3 Download|Amazon Verified Purchase
Thomas Bergersen is one of the main composers for trailer music company Two Steps From Hell, and contributed largely to the epic Invincible. On Illusions however, this is purely a solo effort from TB. And what an effort it is. Wonderful melodies, epic orchestral and choral writing, and electronics all linked seamlessly, this album is an absolute delight from start to finish.
This album has a very different feel when compared to Invincible, which very much sounded like trailer music. The thing that sets this album apart from Invincible is the wonderful use of solo instruments that just adds so much depth and emotion. In particular, there are many tracks which feature some rather exotic sounding woodwind instruments that sound incredible. In addition, many of tracks feature solo vocalists and it really enhances the tracks rather than sounding cheesy.
I started to write a section on which tracks should receive a special mention, and quickly realised I would just be listing the entire album. Each track has it's own unique and wonderful melody, and the majority of the tracks are long enough for this to develop without the music climaxing to quickly.
Overall, Illusions sounds extraordinary. I read that it took several years for TB to complete the album - and judging by the result that is easy to believe. This does not sound like high quality trailer music - it sounds like a beautifully crafted orchestral album with fantastic use of electronics and a wide range of soloists, the quality of which surpasses trailer music, and a lot of modern soundtracks. Rarely does the album go into into apocalyptic mode like its predecessor Invincible, instead choosing to amaze with the quality of the writing rather than orchestral brute force. That isn't to say the music in Illusions doesn't sound epic, it does. I really can't portray how good this album is, so if you find yourself on this page don't hesitate to click the buy button - it will probably be the best album you have heard in a long time.

How else can you begin a review of this album? The music was brought to my attention by a video clip which used a portion of one of the tracks from "Illusions", and so I came to see if I could find it. Having previewed many of the tracks, there was only one choice - to hit buy - and I was not disappointed.
While each track is orchestral in nature, the variations in style and various vocal / choral interludes lift each song. If you have ever been a fan of the orchestral music found in a majority of games and films, then you are really in for a treat with this album as it would perfectly suit these mediums in so many titles. Each track is wonderful to listen to in its own right, and as an album, it takes you on a musical journey. It is just a shame when you get to the end of the last track!

Never have I heard an album that can move you to tears with the sheer thrill and dramatic-nature as I have done with 'ILLUSIONS.' In hindsight, it is a masterpiece; a journey of sorrow and joy and several of the pieces on it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up! I shall be keeping an eager eye on this composer and must congratulate him on such an inspirational, magnificent, emotional and dramatic piece of work. He has tapped into the very edge of 'Inspiration' and I congratulate him on his achievement.
