Album Notes & Community Reviews

Facing a major lineup overhaul, the veteran keyboardist rebuilt his ensemble to pursue a heavily synthesized, radio-friendly iteration of their progressive sound. The album is characterized by slick, futuristic AOR production and prominent vocal processing, seamlessly integrating complex synthesizer interplay with accessible rock hooks. It successfully sustained their chart presence in Europe, demonstrating their adaptability at the close of the progressive rock era.
