Unknown USA band, playing Pomp AOR that sounds like a 83-84 recording.
Their style remember me bands like SAGA and alikes, and why not; MARILLON.
But you can perceive they're an american band.
The big shot here are the keyboards, veeery pomp, you know what I mean; a lot of analog stuff...
I don't like the guitar sound though, but the player isn't bad at all.
Interesting songwriting, far from this genre's typical mould. I love the title track, a real tour de force counterpoint.
Todd Rundgren plays guest guitar in one track.
Private release, quite well produced and recorded.
Only vinyl, restored by myself for your listening pleasure.
A rarity.
