4 stars This is a kind of diverse artistic anticipation, in the same mood of their most successful "Grave New World": as for its mysticism above all, but also for the strange approach by R. Wakeman, whose grandeur is abandoned for a while, being ruled by some other exigencies and several "touches" of 1st class as well.the balance between the construction of the unplugged and religious "songs" (almost suitable for a real church) and such a clever arrangement concerning the prog folk by Rick, is pretty good: the title track, but also "Glimpse of Heaven" with its fine sound of church organ, are the best songs, but you cannot forget the other tracks, whose inspiration is quite high anyway!!

If you like "Grave New World", you will appreciate also the present "religious" work. essential folk prog!!
