"This is an album of extremes, not from poor to excellent, but rather, from mediocre to stellar. Recorded shortly after he left Asia in the mid-80s, a fair amount of what's here is John Wetton's "B" material. Examples: "Keep On Loving Yourself", "You Don't Have To Leave My Life." On the other hand, there is vintage Wetton orchestral layering in "Round in Circles" and power ballads defined with "Suzanne" and "Have You Seen Her Tonight?" Compared to his later solo work, this album represents a turning point from leaving Asia and the pop-rock '80s and returning to his progressive roots."

Should have been

"When John Wetton returned to Asia he should have brought Phil Manzanera with him. If this had been the Asia album Alpha it would have done quiet well. This is a really good album nobody knows about because the record company did not want to put their money behind it in support. What else is knew when it comes to record companies.

Anyway this effort is not a waste of your money."
