5 stars How I haven't heard this before I don't know, but my brother bought me this and the original work of Proto-Kaw for my birthday the other day, knowing I heard neither. Both were wonderful.

I have loved The Enid since their inception, especially the big, orchestral side of the mastermind Robert John Godfrey's unbelievable talents. So, this album is very much up the alley of The Enid's path that I love. Rich, adventurous, and there is some of the newer styling here also. The band sections are performed flawlessly and with true emotion and humor.

I have had the wonderful luck of meeting Mr. Godfrey on a trip to England with my wife, and we saw them live while there. He is the finest pianist I've ever witnessed live. Effortless technique, yet an overflowing amount of raw emotion. I only got to speak with him for a moment at the concert (BTW - he called me in the States before our trip, and after I had emailed their web site. He invited me and my wife to the concert - chalk that little telephone conversation up to one of the highlights of my life!) - and he was a total gentle person, and truly happy that my wife and I made it to the show. Needless to say, we weren't let down.

If you enjoy the big, yet very personal side of The Enid, this one pretty much is a perfect offering.
