Album Notes & Community Reviews
A defining cornerstone of the British neo-progressive rock movement, this concept album tackles themes of Cold War paranoia draped in Atlantean mythology and science fiction. Featuring the soaring vocals of Euan Lowson, the record marries the complex instrumental interplay of 1970s prog with a sharper, modernized edge. The original mix was notably handled by legendary producer Eddie Offord, known for his work with Yes and Emerson, Lake & Palmer.
