…it’s Robin Harrison’s soaring guitar that lifts opener “Perfect Symmetry” from the ’80s-indebted sonic boom and pours magic in Celtic-tinctured instrumental “Waterfalls (Rhaeadreau)”, and it’s drummer David Clifford, who later on entered the musicals scene, that delivers the album’s tremulous ballads, “Through The Dawn” and “In Her Eyes” with their classical piano line and acoustic lace that SCORPIONS would kill for.

A few albums later (also now available on Angel Air) and 1996 saw the band record Anagramary, which would be the band’s last (the label folding, outside business interests). It continues in a similar (very English) vein, with opener Perfect Symmetry a hint of power metal over an earthy Celtic Marillion feel. Babylon as a much more modern progressive feel, building from the acoustic intro. In Her Eyes re-explores the folk prog side. Some good tracks, work exploring. And it comes with a bonus track too.

…the tragedy is that it was released with little fanfare and the band called it a day soon afterwards. It is well worth checking out, especially as the band are now reforming and will be playing tracks from it live for the first time.

Almost completely gone are the brash punky overtones…this is an album teetering on the brink of standard ‘neo-prog’…
