1984

To my taste one of the best Rick Wakeman album after Rhapsodies up to date. All songs and compositions sound fresh and full of life. To say the truth, the sound is even more optimistic than it could be expected from an album based on 1984. (If someone showed this album to me in other language I just would not believe that these colorful melodies have something in common with the most depressing story of the last century!) But if you don't pay attention to this incoherence it's a great album in all aspects.
