Not AOR at all, but reasonable pomp. Even available now on CD. The guys are working on a second CD ! Success to them !

Back to the good old pomp rock , and this is a very good one.If bands like Roadmaster, Alpha Centauri, Styx, Starcastle, Hobbit,Kansas & Trillion do it for you, then this will be right up your street. Material is consistently good throughout and the 2 bonus tracks are good aswell, especially 'Five By Five' which is more commercial than the rest of the material. Good to have a quality re-issue on CD after 20 years on the old vinyl.

Old school pomp, great stuff!!! I'll have to get this on CD as my vinyl has definately seen better days and also for the extra tracks. Soaring keyboards, vocals the lot. Everything is thrown in including the kitchen sink. Excellent!

Good Prog PompRock/AOR so if you are into that style(Styx, Yes etc..) you will love it, very nice Keyboards. "Five By Five" "Indian Summer" and "Looking Back" are my favorite songs in this order. 7.9/10
