    Visionary and different, the mini-album is like a dream of what Duel Jewel is capable of. The vocals soar above the body of sound created by the band. The album opens up fast and hard with the music leading you down paths that may seem familiar, but with just enough experimentation to throw you off. "Reincarnation. Flow" has a great 80's metal sound that perfectly showcases some new vocal techniques.  There is one softer track on the album.  When "Akaneiro no machi" popped up I almost thought my player had jumped to an acoustic song by Gackt. If there's any complaint about this album, it's that the journey was too short and Visions only gave us glimpses of something greater.
