The singer may be more skilled then Bardens/Latimer like Peter Gabriel's however, the music itself is more in line with Camels work.Oni the longest track opens the album well and everything is used to great effect, from the 12 string guitar to the theatrical vocals. To my ears the album dips after this into forgettable short tracks. There are some neat sounds here and there but it's all fleeting. The last track, "The Night Collector" is a nice closing track with emotive electric guitar every fan of Andrew Latimer should at least hear once. Overall this is a good debut although I would not consider Shingetsu to be anywhere near the best of classic Japanese Progressive Rock. (Check out the Floydian Yonin Bayashi or wonderful fusion of Kenso, even the Renaissance esque Mr. Sirius)
