Album Notes & Community Reviews

Dedicated to the airmen of the Battle of Britain, the English group's fourth album marks a significant step forward in their complex, pastoral progressive rock sound. The conceptual record balances highly melodic, soft neo-prog sections with lushly orchestrated symphonic instrumentation and intricate time signatures.
