A much heavier affair than previous works. Moments of sheer foreboding are created with lead guitar and violin interplay on 'Providence'. A beautiful Mellotron string provides the foundation for 'Starless', where the lead vocal shares centre stage with meandering saxophone arpeggios. Overall the album has a much darker sinister feel to it and could quite easily have been used as a backing for a 70's horror movie, in particular the track 'Starless' and hell, what a sax solo lies in wait when this track climaxes!

This album has a harder edge than earlier works, more aligned to Red in parts. The Mincer and Fracture are personal favourites. Bass work on album is stunning, recording quality superb and plenty of Tron to be absorbed in. Not a lot of vocals on this album, which I actually prefer.
