Album Notes & Community Reviews
Marking a dramatic sonic reinvention for the Australian rock veteran, 'Children of the Sun' is a sweeping, sci-fi conceptual epic. The album merges massive, driving hard rock guitars with dense synthesizer soundscapes to tell an elaborate story of an extraterrestrial visitation. The wildly successful title track transformed Thorpe into a cosmic AOR force in the North American market.
