Trippy ambience that feels rather dark and creepy gets things going here. This eventually works out to more of a folk prog arrangement. It still has some space rock and plenty of symphonic prog in the mix. This is a classy prog rocker. This has some intriguing twists and turns as it continues. There are some more rocking modes that still manage the pure prog vibes. This definitely has some awesome keyboard sounds.

A balladic cut, this is mellower and more AOR in nature. I’m not really crazy about this one. It seems a little too adult contemporary for my tastes. This does evolve later to more rocking zones. It works better when that happens. I really dig the guitar solo on the tune. It has some great melodies and sounds.

More of a mainstream rock song, this still has some elements of prog built into it. It has some real soulful vibes at times. While I think I might like this better than the last one, neither comes close to being as effective as the opener was. The bass line on this gets seriously funky at times. The closing instrumental section reminds me a lot of the German band Lake.

Keyboards bring this into being and hold it for a time. It’s a dramatic intro section that gives way to more pure prop from there. I’m reminded just a tiny bit of Pink Floyd at times on that portion. We are taken into more of a melodic prog zone for the entrance of the vocals. This is classy. While I don’t think I like it as much as the album opener, it’s definitely a step up from the last two tracks.

More of an AOR power-ballad, this is not bad, but it’s not a standout by any means.

This is another that feels rather AOR. It’s proggier than the last one, though. It’s also meatier. It has a lot of magic, even though it’s more on the accessible end of the spectrum.

Now, this is much proggier. It has a great melodic vibe. It’s not quite a ballad, but it’s not really a rocker either. What it is is a particularly effective song. The instrumental breaks include some great guitar work. The song has some intriguing changes, too, and even a few jazzy moments.

More rocking, this has plenty of progressive rock in the mix. It has some of the biggest shifts and changes and really drives out into some smoking hot prog jamming at times. This might be my favorite tune here. It manages to be accessible, but also possess a lot of prog meat on its bones. The guitar and keys both get to show off.

Another effective piece, this has both prog and mainstream rock vibes at play. It’s more or less a balladic or soft rock tune. There are some intriguing changes and the anthemic section later is particularly catchy.

Melodic AOR prog is on the menu here. This is another classy tune.

Coming directly out of the preview cut, the extended opening instrumental section that starts this number features some really spacey, trippy stuff. It works out to more melodic AOR styled prog from there for the vocal section of the tune.

Mournful sounding keyboards get us started here. That makes up this instrumental introductory piece.

This builds out to some pretty accessible prog rock as it continues. There is plenty of pure prog built into it, too. It’s a potent track that does a great job of starting this second disc.

Keyboards get things going here. There is some killer balladic prog built into this thing. It has a lot of emotion. It is somewhat balladic, but more like a power ballad.

A powerhouse rocking number, this has plenty of AOR vibes at play. It’s still proggy, though. It’s a solid number, but not a standout.

Here we get a mellow, balladic prog tune. This is one of my favorites on this second disc. For some reason it reminds me a bit of Fish-era Marillion. There are symphonic elements at play on this thing, too,

Soaring melodic prog is on the menu here. This thing is so powerful. It’s another standout.

Yes, this song does feel a lot like “Nights in White Satin,” but that was absolutely intentional. This is quite a potent prog ballad, really.

Folk prog is on the menu here. This is another strong tune. It has a mainstream vibe.

A keyboard dominated number, this is a powerhouse with a lot of emotional content. It gets pretty potent before it’s over.

Driving, hard-edged prog is on the menu here. This is another powerful tune. The guitar soloing on the instrumental section on this is on fire. There is some smoking hot keyboard work, too. The bass guitar work also shines. I love just about everything about this tune.

Starting with keyboards, this is another balladic prog piece. It makes me think of Procol Harum to a large degree.

The keyboard “preamble” on this is classy. That gives way to a more acoustic guitar based thing. The keys remain, though, and the track and creates the backdrop for the entrance of the vocals. There is a classic prog sound here, on the balladic end of the spectrum. I can hear both Moody Blues and Procol Harum on this along with some early King Crimson. This turns more rocking later, but it fully retains the progressive rock that’s at its core. It’s another winner. It turns mellower again further down the road.

This starts with a melodic prog movement that is definitely on the sedate side. The vocals come in over the top of this and it holds in this sort of vein for quite a while. It powers out for a killer melodic prog instrumental section from there. That works through, and we’re brought back to mellower territory to continue. The cut continues to evolve and eventually gets back to the more rocking stuff. This is a real masterpiece of melodic progressive rock. It also has some of the meatiest guitar work of the whole set.
