Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing their evolution away from progressive rock, the British veterans deliver a highly polished, adult-oriented pop rock album. 'Victims of Circumstance' relies on lush orchestral arrangements, sweeping synthesizers, and relaxed, melodic songwriting tailored for the mid-eighties European market. The release proved massively successful in West Germany, culminating in a historic free concert in West Berlin.
