Faithful Breath's reputation begins and ends with their debut. At least in the prog world. I've come to appreciate that album after all these years, but I didn't like it for the longest time. Because of this, I never made any effort to track down their second album. I well should have. This wasn't only a pleasant surprise, it surpassed my highest expectation. Side 1, generally derided as nothing more than basic hard rock, sounded excellent to me. More like prog hard rock. Which leaves us to the side long track, which is as proggy as anything else released in the 70s. Loaded with mellotron and wonderful symphonic music. I had to hear this side 3 times in a row. I don't do that much these days. Don't skip this title if you had similar concerns like me.
