[Heeplist] 48 seconds

[Pete Wharton]

Interesting, Bob and yet again something for us to disagree on :-) I love
the first track, Azura's theme. Yes it starts off quiet, but then I also
think that so does "Against The Odds" and look where that goes :-) I see
Azura's Theme as a bit of an overture to the album and I also see it as a
movie opening soundtrack where the camera is panning across vast landscapes
as the hero rides into view :-) And I particularly love where it almost
builds to a crescendo at the end and doesn't quite get there and then
suddenly wham bang track 2 "In The Rain" gives you the missing bang
crescendo as its opening . Lovely track.
The title track is the one I struggled most with but even that has grown on
me.

Pete

Well I got to listen about 5x and it keeps growing on me.  I like all the
songs except the first, it seems to be an instrumental and starts at such a
low volume that I get impatient and hit the next track button.  After that,
I cannot pick a favorite, it just keeps getting better and better.  When I
first hears it was strings I did not have much expectation for it, but I am
blown away.  Lots of vocals and instrumental changes to make it really
interesting.  A couple folk mentioned Road to London, at first I thought it
was a remake of a Hensley tune Albert Finney,  but the ending is amazing!!
Keyboard work is awesome!

I would rate this over any cd of the former Keyboard player, except maybe
"Faster".

To get an idea of what 48 seconds sounds like, thin of the song "Last Dance"
with string accompaniment

I saw a nice review (1 so far) by Kevin Julie of Phil¹s

 I think

Just wondering what others think of it.
