Xref:      !

Quality:   Clearly demo versions in early development. Bass response is 
           good, all parts are clear. Not finished studio production. 

Comments:  Most material from Wakeman and Anderson. Howe appears 
           only on some tracks, sometimes with vocals. It's unclear to me if 
           Bruford is playing electronic drums or if every track is done 
           with a drum machine; I believe he does not appear at all. 
           Occasionally some electric bass sound; probably played by Wakeman
           on keyboards. Music in the same vein as the earlier ABWH album;
           it's easy to hear what this album would have been like.
