So, what's so new and interesting about playing Rock with odd-time signatures? Musicians have made numerous songs with uneven time-signatures. Why this album deserves to see the light of the day? Actually, the 'common' time-signature songs probably give weight to the album: People, Slushni me, Silence, even Prayer. These are songs with deeper meaning and thought. From the odd-time, the electric guitar instrumentals Stone Bridge (7/8) and the Pipes (9/8), together with the song All The time (11/8) make the Balkan Rock Fusion beat by clashing the smoothness of a rock composition with a bumpiness of their time-signatures. The result is more rock than Balkan album possessing a few interesting tunes.
