1 stars Insufferable new age-ish muzak laced in with heroic fantasy, make this album a real dud!! The kind of music tailored for people playing way too much D&D games beit in their living room or intthe woods with the ruins of an old house serving as dungeon. This is the kind of stuff Eno missed upon when he did his Ambient Music series: Ambient Music for Old Castle Ruins.......;-)

All kidding aside , this mid-80's album is filled with boring stuff (however filled with analog Kbs and some acoustic instruments) rates as a second rate Oldfield or third rate JM Jarre! If you really want to indulge in some of that music , I may advise you to look (and hear) early Bo Hanson material. Much meatier (even for the vegetarians) and all together much better executed.
