Never Too Late was such a pleasant surprise for me after reading some of the tepid-to-negative reviews here and not hearing any clips that jumped out at me. However, I really enjoyed my first full listen of the album and I have played it many times since, during which it has only gotten even better. I agree with Chazz that there are some moments that are reminiscent of previous works, but each song is definitely its own composition. Since I'm not very familiar with Eclipse or Erik Martensson, I didn't really have a bias one way or the other regarding his involvement. I like the album a lot, so I would say that it was a good collaboration. Honestly, I might like Never Too Late even more than Crossroads Moment.
