The album was re-released in 2017 as a double disc with various material. [1]

Reception

Powermetal.de  [ de ]'s reviewer saw the album as almost peerless. Transcending the progressive metal genre, the band was "outrageously good" and their album filled with "brilliant performances throughout almost seventy minutes, subtly and with utmost professionalism". The songwriting showcased "incredibly vast creative potential"; in particular, the song "Never Walk Away" was "the absolute highlight" of Tangled in Dream: "Here, the six-piece band combines every conceivable stylistic device they possess, creating a song that is virtually unparalleled in its wealth of ideas and expressive power". [2]

Rock Hard was positive as well, scoring the album as an 8. [3]

In a short review, Allmusic characterized Tangled in Dream as "a bit boring in its lack of uniqueness" and failing to rise "above the level of the rest of the pack". [4] Vampster  [ de ] concluded along the same lines: "Vanishing Point are simply far too unspectacular (to put it neutrally). A CD for a very limited audience". [5]
