If the first album was influenced by groups like Genesis, etc, the second turned towards the pop and rock of the 60s and 70s. You’ll note influences from the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Tears for Fear, etc., as well as a touch of classical music. Its progressive rock had become, in a way, sort of “pop-gressive”. The emotions of the dramatic passages make this second album an artistic tapestry that is rich, singular, and unusual with lyrical and dramatic accents proving the only limits to creativity are those imposed upon it.
