4 stars I 'm starting to "0274" a vivid example of Allan's post-None too soon period, with some reminiscences of atavachron at the beginning with sinthaxe.

"16 men of tain" a great song with fantastic fusion solos (fusion at the maximum status).Melody is complex and in spesific points it seems to coincide with sad feelings of allan's life.

"Above and below", particular song that goes dirrectely to audience's mind. it's quiet, pleasant to hear and passionate.it's my favourite.

"The drums were yellow" is a technical song wich put in evidence allan's great cleverness as a guitarist and complicity with Novak at drums.

"Texas" is a song at the same level of the one above, great solos and some good stuffs of drums but in the middle of song it comes out Fowler with the trumpet and the song changes in a sentimental way.

It comes the synthaxe in "Downside up" but the melodic line (how allan has thought) of 16 men of tain remains invariate.

"Eidolon" good song with a great depressed acoustic intro.Soon comes the synthaxe and in speedly way changes the melody in positive.

"Above and Belw reprise"Good faboulous fantastic i cannot say anything else for this song that changes for his first.

There are not San Onofre or Material unreal in this Europe Cds
