"Different kinds of solitude at night depicting colours of emotions, they are there to remind us of illusions we lost... one day we find we are alone together..."

Do you remember SurREvival? The album with which Quidam returned to the musical stage? They survived and revived in a new line-up. And if anywone wasn't fully convinced about their revival two years ago, they will definately have no doubts after listening to the new material that QUidam is an exceptionally tight group of outstanding musicians who still have a lot to say.

Alone Together is a very coherent album packed with masterfully combined, excellent ideas. It's plain to hear that these guys simply enjoy playing together. Apart from the beautiful ballads, like the opening track called "Different," with an enchanting melody played on xaphoon (alos known as a "pocket sax" or "bamboo flute") or "We Are Alone Together," an ambient-like composition permeated with emotions, you can expect a hefty amount of rock riffs, breathtaking solos, remarkable work of the rhythm sections and that ever so wonderfully sounding flute. There are also a few really incredible surprises...



Since Alone Together is a concept album, it is worthwhile playing attention to the lyrics and the track titles, which ingeniously form one sentence that describes the content of the record. It talks about different kinds of loneliness and estrangement, about being "alone together" in various sorts of relationships - with a friend, a partner and the family ... Bartek, the vocalist, has certainly found his place in the band and gives a truly heartfelt rendition of the lyrics. His voice conveys a whole range of emotions ... melancholy, longing, a lot of passion and even a dash of irony...

The new release comes with great artwork - the cover featuring a picture by Michal Florczak superbly matches the content of the album. Alone Together is simply perfect and the band is obviously in great shape. They present on this album the best of what they have to offer and, at the same time, what their fans love them for - splendid melodies and lush arrangements. It is an invitiation on a wonderous journey into the land of imagination.
