Woz Absolutely lush progressive rock, delightful vocals, great musical vision expertly crafted, reminiscent of the best of the 70's, but given a fresh feel. Production and mixing values are excellent. Quite simply a delicious meal! Buy it! Devour it!

Douglas Streatfield Wonderful new prog release. Blends the good old prog sound we love so much with energy and oomph. Great musicianship. Already destined to be in my top 10 for the year - its that good! Favorite track: Somnambulists.

Another log rolls from the fire As hours drift away A soft goodbye that cracks the sky And hatches night from day A subtle tone Takes your own You follow Failing seams In waking dreams Into your head These bitter hands relieve their hold Drawn in by foreign flames This time we steal and warmth we feel A scene played out in frames A subtle tone Takes your own You follow Failing seams In waking dreams Into your head Another tone You've made your own To follow Open seams In waking dreams Into your head The priest split his eyes in a fit of cold lies When he found his true sight in his sleep And the mourners they gathered where shipyards were shattered Condemning his mind to the deep So the bell that was tolled dragged the young from the old For a bargain struck far too steep Now dig in those heels if you value what's real These illusions are ours to keep The beggar prince took his throne And spoke of times he tried And as the castle tumbled down His audience arrived

Escapism 07:38
I can't quite shake this feeling When the walls are closing in Can't seem to remember why Or how it came to be this way I just know that I've got to get away While these days pass me by Somewhere else I can't describe Waiting for me to return And next time I'm ready to stay I just know that I've got to get away Will you take me now We could never look back again We could close our minds, forget all our friends And fall into their traps once more Out that door No hero will leap from the screen Not when it falls back onto you and me But somehow we'll find our own way To escape No bringing me back this time Can't convince me I'm not right Tell me I need to get clean Or just let this body decay But you can't always get it your own way Will you take me now We could never look back again We could close our minds, forget all our friends And fall into their traps once more Out that door No hero will leap from the screen Not when it falls back onto you and me But somehow we'll find our own way To escape

Out on the bridge no one waits No one No one, no one waits Under the sky no one waits No one No one, no one waits The people of the night closing in about their targets Behind their locked doors they will shudder and whisper for Another dream Picture this for a while Adrift on vapour tides Show me what's outside your window Painted colours fade into disarray Summer left us with an autumn day Shadowing the light of a burning youth Tell me everything When it's too late for the truth to be heard Before we fall we've got to fly Melting wax wings up in the sky And far too young to die Twenty seven feels alive But I won't be the first of us to go Descending to the ground below Underneath the silver moon Another one that's gone too soon River runs wild And leads us out to the sea Where cold winds blow by They're taking me to what I need Out on the bridge no one waits No one No one, no one waits Under the sky no one waits No one No one, no one waits The people of the night closing in about their targets Behind their locked doors they will shudder and whisper for Another dream Before we fall we've got to fly Melting wax wings up in the sky And far too young to die Twenty seven feels alive But I won't be the first of us to go Descending to the ground below Underneath the silver moon Another one that's gone too soon

Building Up brick by brick There's no release Alone He found his peace Preacher Caught in the storm Blessing these walls Patience The morning calls Screaming Scriptures Catatonic Laid in this tomb with no sleep Bleeding Left in the darkness Clinging to vultures They've taken All he's got The life he lost Upon sickly wings Lifted from halos A risen prince Indifferent He sings For the sun

Horizons 05:21
Only when you have seen The first light of dawn Rising like before Only when you can feel The rush of the wind Wrapping around you like it did before A subtle tone Has changed your world You're older Only when you have known What's there all along The constellations crowning everyone A subtle tone Has changed your world You're older Another tone Has changed your world Forever The moment's gone But always there In time Everything you told me And everything you say Changes meaning When you think your work is done Life no longer on the run Another calling And outside there's a new day dawning
