I am not a big fan of neo-prog, to be honest - not a fan at all. I can enjoy early Marillion albums, and even can listen some IQ works. Other neo-prog bands usually don't attract my attention. I listened to this album with hope to find something interesting when Pendragon announced their concert in my town.

The result is predictable. This album is soapy mix of secondary AOR ( with a terrible vocal) with some elements borrowed from Marillion, Pink Floyd, electro-pop Yes and many others. Even Van Halen's Jump sounds better! It's difficult to review this album in details. In fact, there is nothing what can attract listener. Never listened other band's albums (this one was more than enough), possibly to start from that one was my mistake.

As you can understand, I didn't buy the ticket for the band's show. And missed my interest for trying any other their album as well.

The music on the album is mellow, almost romantic. Possibly it could attract Pendragon's hard fan. Can't imagine who else can be interested to listen this album. (And looking from today, all their music sounds very dated there!)
