ON THE THRESHOLD OF A DREAM

The album begins very well, but the weak point comes with "Send me no wine" and "To share our love". Both are "love songs" that change those great first impressions of the album. The things comes better with "So deep within you", a interesting track with great flute and percussion in the final minutes. The Side One is over.

Let's begins Side Two. Wow, this begins very well! Great keyboard work and beautiful voice on "Never comes the day", a very dancing song. The folk guitar comes well in nice "Are you sitting comfortably?", a flute and voice song. After that comes a narration, very similar with "Journey to the Centre of the Earth" by Rick Wakeman.

I liked the three last tracks ("Have you heard? pt. 1", "The voyage" and "Have you heard? pt. 2"). Very calm songs, with great mellotron arranjements. Maybe the moment of the album. The beautiful piano transition on "The voyage" stands out!

Resume: a great album - too calm, melodic and beatiful. Not a masterpiece, but very good for any prog fan.
