Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut solo effort from the former Procol Harum keyboardist is an exquisitely crafted, lushly orchestrated collection of melodic pop-rock. Anchored by Fisher's signature, sweeping Hammond organ playing and grand piano arrangements, the highly atmospheric record eschews complex progressive rock structures in favor of deeply romantic, Beatles-esque songwriting. It is widely regarded as a beautifully produced, hidden gem of 1970s soft rock.
