A wonderful debut album by Spock's Beard! I seem to enjoy this more than most of the people here. The music is just amazing, maybe amateurish but I don't see that as an object.

This albums starts with the magnificent "The Light". One of the most variying and exciting epics I've ever heard. It starts with true symhphonic prog. All of the parts are awesome, but "Looking Straight Into The Light" is my favourite. Stunning song. Neal Morse definetly god some influences from Utopia's "Singring And The Glass Guitar".

"Go The Way You Go" is a simplified version of "The Light", very entertaining, basic SB song. I love the end of it which happens to be very theatrical.

"The Water" is as magnificent as "The Light". The music is interesting, the athmosphere is unique. The FU/I'm sorry part is pretty funny, cause the guitar rif is straight from The Who's Behind Blue Eyes :). The last two parts are maybe the best, wonderful climaxes and very entertaining. Lovely song.

"On The Edge" is also very basic, simple SB song. Entertaining but not as great as the epics here.

I really recommend this album to those who love 70's symphonic prog. A masterpiece to me.
