The last 3 discs I heard, Close to the Fire, Night Vision and Merlin (additions and orchestrations), all from the early 2000s, were fantastic, better than I could have hoped for, in spite of the partial absence of some of the key players in the very distinctive vocal department. I cannot help but have extremely high expectations. This band has, in latter days, grown into something mighty from sparser beginnings, just as Renaissance did--a band sound to mighty, full-blown, ofttimes over-the-top, orchestrated prog.
I love the fact that they've retained the beloved logo. I may need to camp out, as ticket buyers do, in front of the door of my favorite internet seller on the day of release.
