Of interest to 'tron brethren everywhere because Nick Magus was on keys.
There isn't any 'tron on the album, but there is some very nice Vox String
Thing work. 4 outstanding instrumental prog tracks + a reprise of the title
track at the end of the disc, all lovingly restored to excellent sound
quality by band members. Recorded in 77-78 it hadn't a prayer of commercial
success, but is well worth checking out, since the compositions are strong
and the playing is uniformly excellent. Try instrumental Yes meets
instrumental Greenslade meets instrumental Gentle Giant for texture, and
you'll have an idea of what they sounded like. Tracks run from 4-13 minutes
in length and the disc is 36 minutes long. No losers here. Buy it if you
can find it. Thanks Nick et al for bringing this lost goodie back to life!
