Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating without a lead guitarist, the English quartet relied entirely on the colossal interplay between dual keyboardists Graham Field and David Kaffinetti. The album's ambitious second half is entirely consumed by the sidelong 'Flight', an apocalyptic, classically-inspired epic that cemented their reputation as intense, albeit commercially overlooked, pioneers of heavy symphonic prog.
