Matrix number A-side 6360017 1Y//1 ?420 1 1 2 Matrix number B-side 6360017 2Y//1 ?420 1 1 1 Rarity scale: SC Inclusion of the soulful vocals of Farlowe makes this album even better than the previous one. The more precise integration of the reeds makes for a heady mixture of rock, jazz and folk that at times reaches impeccable quality. Only sporadically the pretensions carry the music in too lofty areas. Highlight on side A must be the boiling emotions of Take Me Back To Doomsday, where Thompson plays one of the best flute parts I have ever heard in such a context. The fake-classical music of the title track tastes also well. Unexpected folk brings the instrumental Bring Out Your Dead. It is highly unfortunate that the album ends with the hopelessly outdated The Time Machine, where a macho drumsolo does exactly what the record up till there knew to avoid: technical display without musical substance and emotion. What a pity, after such a fine album. Classical overtones mark the cover. A kind of bronze adorns the cover, which on the back also carries a Hellenistic relief of a woman, complete with wildly flourishing robes. The lettering is quasi carved from bronze too and fits seamlessly. The inside continues the classical attitude and displays the surprisingly good lyrics, including a brilliant one by Pete Brown.
