Album Notes & Community Reviews
The third album from the Dieter Dierks-produced ensemble sees a shift from their aggressive Krautrock origins toward a more refined, classically structured symphonic rock approach. Jurgen Dollase's grandiose keyboard orchestrations dominate the mix, supported by a newly introduced string section that adds a sweeping, cinematic quality to the compositions. The project marks a clear transition into the realm of traditional European progressive bombast.
