Description/Reviews
A progressive rock opera for the 21st Centry: Circle of Illusion present an epic concept album with almost 80 minutes of prog rock with a Hollywood widescreen sound.
 Composer and keyboardist Gerald Peter developed the dramatic concept about Jeremy, who’s caught in a dream world. Musically, the album features progressive rock without regard for genre boundaries: The album combines sweeping song structures, driving guitar riffs, virtuosic keyboard lines with a hint of fusion and lots of intricate rhythms with film score-like symphonic elements as well as styles like funk and soul that are rather untypical for prog.
