4 stars This is one of the highlights from the neo-progressive movement, what a compelling blend of hardrock and symphonic rock! The first two tracks "Shock treatment" and "Cut and run" features harder-edged guitarwork, bombastic keyboards, a strong Chris Squire-like (Rickenbacker) bass sound and great vocals, this band has such a power and energy! The song "East west" is a very moving piece featuring powerful and emotional vocals ("the politicians lie before my eyes", nothing changed since 1986..!), wonderful pianoplay, Moog Taurus bass pedals, sensitive electric guitar and majectic choir-Mellotron, GOOSE BUMPS!! These goose bumps return even more .. in the next composition "March on Atlantis" because of one of the most breathtaking choir-Mellotron eruptions I've ever heard and it delivers such a contrast with the tender piano and warm vocals in the mellow parts. OK, not every track on this album is at the level of the aforementioned songs but THIS CD IS VERY MEMORABLE NEO-PROG!!
