3 stars 01. Beautiful Scarlet Drums and keyboards totally ahead. Riff those paused and a voice that PQP, which primed good voice! Melodies absurdly sensational. Then a calmer melody for the two keyboards do the 'dirty work'. Several tonnes of soil and several of keyboards and good melodies. It's amazing how the voice is flexible, and vocalizations marry perfectly. One of the strongest opening tracks I've ever heard!

02. Sympathy Pretty! Full of beautiful vocal and moderate pace. Keyboards always very well represented. This time, bass and drums are just as marking it.

03. Nature's Fruit The battery begins one of the 'pops' most beautiful and the style of Jefferson Airplane, with Hammond doing the marking, the band playing all perfectly! Soil very different, very low base of legal, and the best, one of the coolest tunes.

04. Bird On A Wing Bird On A Wing sensational keyboards have both well placed in the song. Until the melody changes, becoming more 'hard' and full of force. A thousand keyboards making a crazy sound of very good taste. Always very well supported by beautiful melodies.

05. God Of War Initially epic but a psicodelia that had not been shown on the disc, voice whisper, I recalled the very beginning of Pink Floyd. Full of sensational weather, I go to say the highlight of the disc, the song takes almost life itself, has a melodic weight without equal.

06. Iceberg Battery almost like a volley of shots, keyboards and melodies typical of Italian bands in the same season as PFM and Le Orme. The central idea here is something well ahead of its time, difficult to say that were not as well known. It is usually never say that the pioneers are not rewarded for their merits? This track is very progressive, and I can not say if it is before or after something, because I know only the year of the disk, not the month.

07. Times That would be a strange country? I think so (laughter), great emphasis on the bottom row of Steve Gould. The initial melody of the keyboard and then also, I am not surprised, but not enough to copy. The keyboards around and bent the law by all sides of the track. And for the first time a guitar is almost lost at the end of the track.

08. You Went Away Beautiful song! From sweet and simple melody, Full of climates. And once again the vocals are the highlight, when there is need of strength, of beauty, there is. Awesome! Basically a sad ballad, which benefits from the keyboards. The hit Mike Ashton drop everything in order.

09. Melanie I think that is the hit singing the main vocal and is not ugly at all. The voice of him and is also very melodic tune. The song is a mixture of sounds, and a strange time of signing. There through several breaches of pace. A great song.
