Walking on a Flashlight Beam is the fourth studio album by the Polish progressive rock project Lunatic Soul. It was released on 13 October 2014 by Mystic Production in Poland and Kscope worldwide.[3][4] The album consists of nine tracks and contains nearly 64 minutes of music.[5] Mariusz Duda composed all the songs and played all the instruments on the album, except for the drums.[6]
Reviews pointed out that Walking on a Flashlight Beam differs significantly from the project's previous releases. This time, Duda leaned much more into electronics and a strong, expressive rhythm, resulting in an album that at times is very loud and rock-oriented.[6] Critics also noted that with Walking on a Flashlight Beam, Duda confirmed his talent as a composer and created his own original music—which no longer strongly references the artists often mentioned in reviews of previous Lunatic Soul albums.[7]
The album includes a DVD containing a documentary film about its creation.[8]
