Album Notes & Community Reviews

The highly theatrical German rock group embraces a lighter, more whimsical symphonic sound on this conceptual fantasy epic. Featuring lush acoustic guitars, soaring synthesizers, and uplifting vocal melodies, the album deliberately moves away from their earlier, abrasive Krautrock experimentation. It stands as a meticulously arranged, Yes-influenced pinnacle of accessible European progressive rock.
