Super Talented...

"This CD might take a few listens to really appreciate. The more you listen, the more you will be blown away. Kerry is one of the best composer/writers' in the music world. His music is very powerful and diverse.This disc features two great vocalists, a superb violinist(David Ragsdale), and some awesome guitar work from Kerry. As always the lyrics are fresh and meaningful.I agree this disc is nothing like "Seeds of Change", but change is good!"
Powerful, emotional, and anything but boring

"Kerry Livgren has to be one of the most talented musicians to come along since Mozart. Each song has its own personality. His music never fails to move me. This album is no exception. His songwriting talents and great skill in finding just the right notes to play on his guitar are brought to life in every song on the disc. Although the whole disc is great, three tracks definitly stand out: "When Things Get Electric", "This Dark World", and "Xylon (The Tree)". These three songs are among Kerry's best to date. If you find these songs "boring", then you'd better check your pulse to make sure you are still among the living. If you were ever a Kansas or Livgren fan and don't own this CD, you owe it to yourself to add it to your collection."
Kerry Livgren, formerly of KANSAS, still makes quality music

"Kerry Livgren is still making quality music as this offering will reveal. On this work he hand picked some very talented, but lesser known, singers/musicians but the outcome is first rate. Most of the songs would be considered hard rock with elements of progressive rock for which he is most well-known. There is no "Dust in the Wind" or "Carry on, Wayward Son" here; however, anyone who was/is a true KANSAS fan will find much to like with repeated listens. The sound even includes some violin from David Ragsdale reminiscent of KANSAS but overall it is heavy guitar with some of the best playing by Kerry even including his KANSAS days. The last song "Xylon, the Tree" is the most intriguing in that it has the longer, anthem format. Don't expect KANSAS here, but you will find a wealth of musical expertise to enjoy. This is Kerry on his own showing that he has not stopped growing as a musician and one of the best rock composers of our time."
