MACHINE

This is my favorite Crack The Sky album. It's clearly a concept-album, almost a rock opera. The themes of man vs his creation, machines taking over permeate the album. And perhaps more than any other CTS album there's a sonic consistency: low key acoustic guitars, dueling rock guitars, extended solos, grandly orchestrated songs. As others have pointed out, if you like the track "From the Greenhouse" or similar works from Pink Floyd, you'll be right at home. I think it's a terrific album. Notable tracks include the opener "Heaven," "Go Johnny," "Goodbye Mrs Nature," "Join Up" and closer "We're all Dead."
