As the progressive rock is dramatically absent around 1980, Saga still continues to produce
excellent modern progressive rock: they still show the way that leads to an avant-garde
progressive rock full of modern keyboards. Saga's style here consists in very structured
and melodic arrangements made of delightful modern keyboards and rather hard rock
electric guitars. Compared to the Saga's first album, the keyboards on "Images at twilight" sound a bit more modern, futuristic and anthemic. With 2-3 keyboardists in the band, one has to have great expectations, and actually the listener should not be disappointed regarding the keyboards refinement and pertinence. Saga mostly reached his typical modern sound and style here. There are many very good guitar solos, often synchronized to follow the melodic keyboards. The lead singer has an excellent voice a bit like the Spandau Ballet's singer. The overall sound is very modern for the year. "Images (Chapter one)" has excellent, catchy, magic, futuristic, addictive and heroic keyboards: impressive! All the tracks are excellent. Saga has their own unique sound & style: they probably inspired neo prog bands like Pallas. Rating: 4.5 stars
