This is a great sample of AOR/West Coast music with a modern production and easy listening compositions that will keep you satisfied for the duration of the album. It is absolutely radio friendly and able to catch the attention of fans beyond the “strictly rock” sound. For you that are familiar with the sound of ASIA during the early 1990s, then surely you will find a reference point here. I love the sound of the album, my only disagreement is the fact that I would like to hear some uptempo songs in order to enjoy a variety of dynamics that exist in this band. This is an album which is atmospheric and melodic with a lot of soul but with less hard guitar driven tracks.
