3 stars For my money, this is Abacus' most underrated album. True, beyond the excellent, lengthy, largely instrumental title track, there's not much prog, but it's definitely much more alive than EVERYTHING YOU NEED was. And much more of that Kinks-y charm that oozed through the better moments of said predecessor. Chris Williams is in fine voice throughout.

"11 Garden" is this particular album's "quirky tune". "Let's Face The Voices and Dance" and "Including Revelation" are virtually two parts of a whole, with the same fine guitar rhythm throughout. Nice synth work on "For The Moment", too.

Progbear | 3/5 |
