At more than 25-and-a-half minutes of music, this is the epic of the set. Piano starts it. There are some ambient elements behind it as it holds the track. This evolves gradually, but it gets into some pretty crazed territory before it’s over and done. There is a lot of art rock and fusion built into it. There is a freeform nature, but it also has dramatic Crimson-like jamming with hints of symphonic. There is a great balance between rocking and mellower modes. There are also plenty of interesting twists and turns along the road. Now, I should mention that this thing is listed as one track, but the CD actually divides it into four. I have reviewed it the way it’s listed on the CD cover, though – as one track. This thing is such a powerhouse, and unusual and satisfying ride that covers a lot of various sounds and concepts.
