4 stars ok lets start from the first song:

FIRST LIGHT:one I hear that song at first I was amazed, I was hopping that all the album will be like this song. the song is complex like 3 parts: the first- very camely and cool, the second-spacer, great keyboard line and guitar line too. the thirth: wow!, what a good suprise with Mel Collins's sax, simply brilliant solo, and great finish too, this part is on G pandatony.(is om1 is intersting...)

Metrognome: glladly this song is a continuance to first light, great keyboard line... this got 3 parts too: when the last is my opinion the best, his is on 7\8 and he is just great, latimer's solo is very hard there...

Tell me: well, at first I didnt like this song, he was sound to me too hackneyed. but after several times he got beter and I found his really good, latimer's flute fits well, and so bardens's keyboard, (this sing is on C magor...)

Highways of the Sun: now its a song that supposed to be a catchy Hit song, but it was too hard for camel to make it so catchy, so what that came out from it is a weird song between a catchy Hit song and a prog song.

Unevensong: Wow! pure fun and interest on that song. a lot of breaks and tempo changes, and agreat solos from latimer, I love the spacy part when latimer guitar is on wah-wah, and its progress to such a beautiful when there is several guitars together. brilliant song.

One of these Days I'll get an early night: here we see another camel, a jazzier one. this song have just 2 parts: when first is the sax to improvise, and then the keyboards and then the guitar. I love the keyboards solo at most... great song for me to improvisation too, great fun.

Elke: after some energetics songs we meet what slower and more relax song, sometimes I love this song and sometimes not.

Skylines: I dont like this song, just dont like him, its the only song in the CD that I pass him by, song without anything, thats all.

Rain Dances: A great finish to a great album!

4 and a half stars! good job camel.
