4 stars To me this is a perfect example of good piano/keyboard, (he uses both), music. Everyone knows Rick is a fantastically gifted keyboardist, and he shows it here. For Rick though, good keyboards doesn't mean just rushing up and down the keys in crematic scales, (though there's plenty of fast-finger work on display here!), but excelent classical sounding compositions too. The tracks are all instrumental, which is personally preffered by your's truly, (so often an excelent sounding track is ruined by an overly loud/monotonous orweird singer). None of them drag on, but they are all a good length. The theme is interesting and well executed, and there is good variation between tracks. Essential for any keyboard playing prog fan, and still pretty unmissable for anyone else.
