This Scottish band released two decent albums so far. Fully neo-prog (I do not really understand how comes that they sit in the symph genre BTW) and "Genesis" oriented. Pleasant music.

This album is a compilation effort (?) of their oldest material. Same sort of stuff like "Once Upon A Time" from "Pendragon" or "Seven Stories Into 98" from IQ. But worse.

There are no melody in the voices, no spirit in the guitar play. The rhythmic section sounds as a garageband (but "Citizen Cain" does not come from Garageland). This is profoundly noticeable during "Tabernacle Of Hands" even if some flute notes will provide some breathe of fresh air into this polluted musical display.

Their poorest song ever is certainly "State Of Confusion". Indeed, the listener is plunged into some sort of demo track with awful vocals, extremely bad guitar "noises". This album is a collage of poor to average (at best). Just forget about this one. For collectors only. What a painful album. One star.
