Description/Reviews

Advent's majestic new 77.5-minute near-concept album of thoughtfully composed progressive rock music, ranging in scope from extended symphonic workouts to intimate acoustic guitar duets and much more in between--featuring rich multi-part vocal segments, quite a bit of additional dual-guitar work within the context of larger arrangements, and expanded instrumentation that includes many vintage keyboards (B3, Rhodes, Wurlitzer, CP-70, Clavinet, Moog Source, Sequential Circuits Pro One) along with real choir. Audiophile mastering by Bob Katz.
