Album Notes & Community Reviews

Arriving at the very tail-end of the classic 70s progressive rock boom, this German band's debut is anchored by an ambitious, four-part title suite spanning the entire first side. The music heavily favors incredibly lush, pastoral synthesizer and guitar interplay reminiscent of Genesis and Camel, sung gracefully in English. While overshadowed by changing commercial trends, it is highly prized by fans of classic, highly melodic symphonic prog.
