The seventh album from this British band.
Nektar was a quarter on this album with a lineup of bass, drums, keyboards, guitars and vocals.
They had help from some guest artists, including Robert Fripp, on guitar and synths. A string quartet also contributed to this album.
Roye Albrighton had left Nektar on this album after, I guess, artistic differences. An American vocalist and guitarist fills his place. His name is Dave Nelson, btw.
Gone is also progressive rock. They too abandoned non-commercial music in the hunt for some money and fame. Something you do not get by playing progressive rock. Unless your name is Pink Floyd, that is.
AOR and stadium rock has replaced progressive rock.
US stadium rock, that is. There is no hit songs here. It is just an album with AOR songs. Some are rather catchy.
This album is far from what Nektar did on their previous album and nowhere near as exciting and good. It is still a decent album with it's subtle qualities.
Check out this album if you like AOR and US stadium rock.
