Album Notes & Community Reviews
Showcasing the opulent arrangements of guitarist Mick Grabham鈥攚ho joined during the sessions鈥攖he band embraced an incredibly lavish, symphonic production style. Utilizing a full orchestra and choir, the sweeping musical suites are interwoven with Keith Reid's surreal, darkly aristocratic lyricism, creating an aura of fading European decadence.
