5 stars Well this actually proves the point - I listened to this CD way before I had adjusted my music appreciation to include the genius of Stolte & Co - I have just given this a few spins & was completely blown away! The Garden of Dreams has 18 partoids, and only part two is sub FK standard, the rest is simply spiffing, in fact listen to parts 5 and 6 (instrumentals) and these are of the quality one has come to expect - Sheer brilliance, then parts 16 and 17 which are equally brilliant - This epic has sort of a miasma of Yes, Genesis and ELP and it all works very nicely to bring about a MASTERPIECE. Possibly just a tad below Monster & Men but almost getting there -= This is a must have composition for any FK fan. I also love the track Astral Dog - another nice Stolte effort. CD2 ? Well Deaf Dumb & Blind is brilliant with a cinema show instrumental rythym and superb guitar & synth riffs and nice mellotron work., I also love the track Corruption with nice organ work and the peaceful "Power of Kindness" - a churchy composition., If youy also take in the excellent Psycedelic Postcard and calling home then you have a peach of a CD. FIVE STARS anyone?? YEP, get it bought.
