Somewhat late reply on this but... 
I personally love the song Illusion and believe it is the most developed and 
complete piece on Innocent Victim.  Complex and filled with emotion.  The 
guitar solo is one of my favorites of Mick's as he doesn't overpower the 
song and slowly moves through it.  The harmonies throughout are spot on and 
the end is great where they pick up pace add the vocal harmonies over the 
acoustic guitars and then fade out like a radio edit. 

Have repeatedly come to the end and hit the Back button to start again! 

One of my all time favorites from the Lawton era.

Everyone knows my feelings  "All Heep is Good Heep"!!!! 

As for Illusion, one of my favorite off of Innocent Victim.  Haunting 
keyboards, powerful vocal by John, great psychodelic sound effects. This is 
what one expected Heep to evolve into and sound like, following Magicians' 
Birthday   

During the Lawton era, Heep got away from the hammond sound, but I think Ken 
really displayed his talent with some very progressive keyboard work and 
songwriting.
