Album Notes & Community Reviews
Rebuilt almost entirely around vocalist Sonja Kristina, the revamped lineup significantly benefited from the virtuosic contributions of 17-year-old prodigy Eddie Jobson on violin and keyboards. Ditching much of their earlier classical delicacy, the band embraced a harder, riff-driven rock edge while preserving their trademark soaring progressive ambition.
