STEP AHEAD's 1982 eponymous concept-album has become a milestone, mixing outstanding sense of melody and merciless energy. With an untouchable Irish singer (Former member of THE SMALL FACES, with a voice close to Jon ANDERSON.), a one-of-a-kind guitarist influenced by psychedelic and Progressive rock, a second guitarist delivering delicate acoustic arpeggios, a female keyboardist who reaches a state of grace as soon as the time to use vintage sounds comes, and a virtuoso rhythm section, this album is definitely one of the greatest Eighties Progressive rock pieces ! The Musea reissue includes over 30 minutes of bonus tracks. Those are three live titles, and two previously unreleased songs that were supposed to appear on the band's second album, which never came out. Any true or so-called Progressive rock addict should own this CD !
