Album Notes & Community Reviews

The sixth studio album from the English progressive rock band marks the crucial addition of vocalist David Longdon and a significant expansion into symphonic brass arrangements. Deeply rooted in British history and pastoral imagery, the record culminates in a breathtaking 22-minute title track that echoes the ambition of classic Genesis. It is universally regarded as the band's magnum opus and a modern classic of symphonic prog.
