2 stars And then there were two...

At least rick Wakeman named the works with his sons as "Wakeman and Wakeman". This is a "Froese and Froese" album, first of all. Not another soundtrack,luckily, but I don't see a big difference. The tracks are made of the now usual electronic very borderline with newage, with some more guitar respect to the past, but sounding like what Pete Bardens was doing 10 years before.

Not being a movie soundtrack gives the duo the possibility of placing some longer tracks, but the word "longer" is too streched for a 8 minutes track when speaking of a band once used to place a track by each LP side.

I won't go track by track because they all sound very similar. Not bad at all, but after 10 years of this stuff, fans would have expected something different, also because of Jerome. As TD collector and fan I quite like also this album, but I can randomly choose everything from 1982 to 1992 and very likely find this kid of things. The bad is that I can find this kind of things also on newage compilations of the same period.
