Album Notes & Community Reviews

Two decades after his historic debut, the British multi-instrumentalist re-examines the structural themes of his masterpiece with updated 1990s technology. Co-produced by Trevor Horn, the highly polished sequel integrates modern electronic sequencing and worldbeat influences while faithfully tracing the grand, progressive rock arc of the original composition.
