Description/Reviews: 

The music reminds me mostly of the 80s prog of Pendragon, IQ, Pallas and Marillion (Fish-era). The vocals of Donkersloot also has a touch of Nick Barrett (Pendragon) at times. As usual in prog rock it's mainly all about the guitar and keyboards, and both are in good hands with musicians Alblas and van Oosten.

I liked the guitar soloing in Intimacy and I Miss You, where keyboard player van Oosten also shows his skills. Ongoing Circle Of Life has a Floydian feel, and Symphony For The Nerds has a nice keyboard intro. The longest track, Imprisoned Angel, has some beautiful keyboard sounds and great guitar work, just like us proggers always enjoy.
