The second album from this artist from USA.
Anton Roolaart did the percussion, bass, guitars, mandolin, keyboards, drum programming and vocals here.
A number of guests added drums, bass, piano, keyboards, synths, narrations and vocals.
Anton returned again seven years after the debut album Dreamer with this three quarters of an hour long album.
Dreamer was a pretty good US symphonic prog album and I had some hopes for the follow up album... this album.
We get more US symphonic prog here with some influences from Yes, Genesis and Renaissance. Add a lot of Porcupine Tree references too here.
Annie Haslam is delivering some great vocals on the fourteen minutes long title track. That track is the best track and almost a hommage to her band Renaissance. It is probably a hommage to this band.
The music is melodic, symphonic and pretty muscular at times. There is a lot of good details here too and this album is an upgrade on the debut album. This is indeed a good album.
