TIME VOYAGER
the new studio album out June 3, 2024
TIME VOYAGER, the seventh studio album by Barock Project.
“Time Voyager is a journey through the folds of time. Songs are like doors that swing open into unknown dimensions, traveling through the darkness of the past and the uncertainty of the future. In this new record, time is not just a straight line, but an intricate labyrinth of endless possibilities.
With 12 new tracks, over 70 minutes of length, this album represents a natural evolution for us as a band. While in our previous works we explored different themes and various musical approaches, this record stands out for its deep immersion into the theme of time travel. We worked intensely to create a sonic experience that transports the listener through different dimensions, blending elements of nostalgia with futuristic visions.”
- "A concept album that explores the theme of time travel with intricate and varied tracks. The 'Voyager Suite' is the album's highlight, featuring complex melodies and exuberant instrumental sections."(The Progressive Aspect)
- "Time Voyager is an excellent album, splendid in its elaborate and effective orchestrations, colorful like the canvas of Paul Cézanne or Claude Monet. Full of fantastic music, emotions, and wisdom. It exalts the values that give meaning to human life. Because is there perhaps anything more beautiful than the shadows lazily falling on the porch of the childhood home, the scent of lilacs, and the touch of a loved one's hand?.."(MLWZ, Poland)

- "A majestic work that showcases Barock Project's ability to create music that is both accessible and complex. A musical journey that enchants from beginning to end."(Nonsoloprogrock, ITALY)
- "A masterpiece that deserves multiple listens to appreciate all its nuances. The band has outdone itself with this album."(Profil Prog)
- "A brilliant example of how progressive rock can evolve without losing its essence. The baroque and jazz influences enrich the album, making it unique."(Rock Progressif Italien, FRANCE)
