REVIEWS

Mine came completely assembled.
author: One Angry Swede
Complex and creative arrangements. Prog rock fans will dig the overall vibe of this disc. Hints of classical and new age can be found as well. If you've only heard the mp3 versions available at various sites online you're missing out. Those may sound good. The cd sounds MUCH better. Stand out tracks include: 'The Toad & The Princess', 'Master Plan' and 'One Red Feather'. One Angry Swede. Founder of The FatCat Radio Network (www.fatcatradio.com)
