4 out of 5 stars POWERFUL Music, Powerful Message.......2000-05-31

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"!

1 out of 5 stars Huge disappointment. Agitation, not the Rick's music........2000-04-22

Come on, dear fans, is it masterpiece? Does it have 5 starts rate? Then what about King Arthur or Jorney? Well, considering it as a pop album it's ok. But I'm as Rick and Yes fun expected a little bit more. The CD is just "red" agition, propaganda, no more! 5% of music and 95% just political calls and mottos. So boring! Poor and pretty silly pop with women's chorus and lot of words like "revolution", "freedom", "fight". Replete Englishmen fight for freedom under the red flag. That's fun! ... So, I returned this CD ... after 3 listening. I hoped I find something similar to Rick's "goldern era". Nothing, but couple of chords...

5 out of 5 stars African bach.......2000-01-02

Most assuredly one of the finest and most noble albums of our time. For anyone who needs hope, direction, and to know Love is still within the hearts of some men. If you ever read this Rick, thank you more than words can express. May you always live in the Light...
