The 70's feeling of GENESIS blended with the new digital technology is the main characteristic of this album.Most of the compositions have an evident symphonic approach,not far from what IQ were creating around the same time.McNiven's style includes lots of STEVE HACKETT-inspired guitar hooks mixed with some intricate melodies in the typical British prog style of the 80's.Montgomery is fabulous on keys,delivering beatiful soundscapes both on piano and synthesizers,a definite heaven for a symph fan's ear.Of course,a couple of short tracks follow the familiar way of accesible,easy-listening prog rock based on nice grooves and pleasant melodies,but that's only the exception.The symphonicism haunts most of this album' running time,strengthened by Alan Reed superb vocal work,close to the color of PETER GABRIEL's voice.Excellent album with a plenty of challenging/well-crafted moments,which deserves to be added in your collection.Highly recommended!
