Right now it is only a volume issue for track 1 since I am streaming it from phone to car speaker. Just impatience on my part. The song starts too slow and soft. Now that I have listened through several times I will try to be patient. Tracks 2-10 are strong with tons of musical changes, a myriad of vocal effects and tremendous keyboards. Reminds me of a modern “Days of Future Past”.
Which back in 80’s when CD fist came out, my first 2 purchase were aforementioned Moody Blues and Dark Side of the Moon. I couldn’t find Heep back catalog on cd, in stores in the beginning.
