Title: POWERFUL Music, Powerful Message
Review: From its first play this has been one of my fave Wakeman albums. I think of this when I hear some who feel Rick can't write "rock" songs. "African Bach" and "Message Of Mine" are among my top favorite tunes from Wakeman's entire output (which is prodigious!) and most of the remaining songs I never seem to tire of hearing. My copy (from Japan) has few credits I can read, but I do believe that's the powerful voice of Ashley Holt roaring these numbers out, as he had on JOURNEY..., KING ARTHUR, NO EARTHLY CONNECTION, TIME MACHINE and PHANTOM POWER. Wakeman was on a roll around '91-'92, and did at least 7 albums in a ROW that I rank among his best-ever (the others being THE CLASSICAL CONNECTION, SOFTSWORD, CLASSICAL CONNECTION II, 2,000 A.D. INTO THE FUTURE, COUNTRY AIRS and WAKEMAN WITH WAKEMAN). Astonishing, when most artists who've been around as long as he has are burnt-out & "over-the-hill"!
