5 stars In my (very) humble opinion, this masterpiece is really worth to include in hypothetic "Neo-Prog Hall of Fame" (along with selected releases of MARILLION, PENDRAGON, IQ, ARENA, etc.). These guys managed to create an atmosphere of old prog-rock, that refers to bands like GENESIS, YES, CAMEL. The sound is overall dark. The band features the dense and at the same time floating sound, leaving the keyboards dominating. The opening, title and longest track in the album is simply brilliant, leaving an impression of a real rocking horse with the use of sampling keyboards. Sadly, this album (along with the others from the band) is not easy to find. Otherwise a great job, 5 of 5.
