Album Notes & Community Reviews

Roine Stolt officially established his remarkably prolific progressive rock ensemble with this soaring, incredibly optimistic debut full-length. The highly complex, wildly intricate compositions heavily feature virtuosic electric guitar solos, lush vintage keyboard arrays, and profoundly positive, fantasy-driven lyricism. The deeply retro-focused, flawlessly executed record was instrumental in spearheading the massive third wave of symphonic progressive rock in Europe.
