2 stars Well... How i can to talk about this...? Where i begin...

In knowless therms... This album is a fusion between Barclay James Harvest and a New Wave band The Outfield... BJH in your acoustic dynamics, The Outfield in a vocal lines...

Yes bring a great promises in Keys to Ascension (1996- 1997), but, something happens with the band in the path... If i known? No, i don't known, but something happens there, it's a correct thing.

In last case, Yes fall here. Try a new dynamic and betrayed your first concepts from Keys to Ascension duo.

The result of this? Songs with a almost without emotion and inspiration, and a fail try to reply a No Earthly Connection album from Rick Wakeman with a worst track The Solution (the parts likes the repeat previous musics or segment on track, but the difrence to a NEC album from 76, is a off of dynamic and interest...).

In other case, i liked a refrence with a Animation Jon Anderson album from 82 with a Boundaries segment in Somedays, Someshow... Jon makes the same in The Promise Ring (curiositly released in 97 too), and in The Ladder Yes album (?). But this is it...
