Album Notes & Community Reviews
Founded by former Marillion drummer Mick Pointer and Pendragon keyboardist Clive Nolan, the British supergroup debuted with a remarkably polished, highly theatrical neo-prog masterwork. The incredibly dense, highly melodic compositions heavily recall the soaring, 1970s-inspired symphonic rock of classic Genesis, featuring highly complex guitar solos and sweeping keyboard arrangements. The highly successful, deeply impassioned recording immediately solidified their position at the forefront of the 1990s progressive rock revival.
