Thanks to Blue desert and ACM Japan website, I got off to a good start in the old days when it came to collecting AOR lp's and this was a perfect example! I got an LP of this and had a great weekend (drinking beers!). But beers are certainly not essential to enjoy this music (though I would'nt turn you off the idea). It's so great. So many amazing songs. This album is a style of music that you will find a lot of made with sequencers but not with such human-ness as you get here. Absolutely amazing drumming and every musical element is stunning. This album, like "Avalon- everyman a king" is the type of AOR album that to me sounds like it's a record from maybe 2082 rather than 1982. This album is really a true gem that everybody must get. What a production and engineering job too. I hope they re-issue it soon cause it's another one that I'm dying to get in digital format. Right now, at the time of writing it's starting to go for VERY high amounts and anyway, I don't pay big bucks for any cd's
