The title track is my all time favorite symphonic prog song and the mellotron is fantastic. I like Cadence And Cascade much better than I Talk To The Wind from ItCotCK. The rest of the album is very good and I love Keith Tippet's jazzy piano on Cat Food. Considering it contained a mish mash of musicians and no Ian McDonald, I don't think that it could have turned out better.

TCOL can be a headache, but there's some really solid tracks in the mix &  I can appreciate what they were going for and how it stands as a very unique album. I think Wake goes against what the band has come to stand for and that is always progressing and pushing themselves to sound different album to album (which is something I think any good prog artist does). For the time it was released it was still bold, but to me it feels kinda incomplete and I attribute that to pretty much every member besides Fripp having one foot out the door.

As a side note, I actually think The Power to Believe is in the upper echelon of their albums, and I think its their most well produced album.


The Power to Believe is a great album indeed, and I think it's actually very well received by fans.

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.
