Are you sitting comfortably? Are you relaxed? OK. Now put on this CD, and prepare to have your socks kept on!

This is prog? Hardly. This is trite arena rock, with vague illusions to prog. Nostalgia, which is not really a song, just a slightly Pink Floyd like introduction to the next song, Falling Apart at the Seams. It starts out sounding like it might build into a good song, then *WHAM*, a key change, and just another piece of drivel worthy of Asia, or late era Genesis.

The only possible saving grace is Wurensh, that sound sort of like uninspired Yes, with a rhythm stolen from Led Zeppelin.

I originally received this album as a promo back in my record store days, and promptly gave it away to a friend (who gave me a copy once the technology was available). Now I remember why I gave it away in the first place.
