3 stars Much of what I think here is similar to what I said in my 'Pictures from the other side' review. No matter how much I listen to the main track I fail to find it 'Proggy' enough. Yes, there are the subtleties, but given 24 minutes one expects more of an memorable journey with a grand finale. I mean, it's all very listenable, but it doesn't really grab you. 'All around the World' seems to end up being blues number, which just leaves me cold. 'Cyan' is an instrumental which developes into a Steve & John Hackett type of song, which is good. Ultimately, despite the musicianship and production being superb, they can't hide what is ultimately a weak primary track.
