It is regarded by many as a high point in Allan’s career. It balances guitar and SynthAxe, from “City Nights” to “Endomorph”. It also balances Allan's own tunes with contributions from the musicians. "City Nights", written by Gary Husband, is among Allan's finest statements on guitar, not to mention Vinnie Colaita's jaw-dropping drums. The title track features the voice of Rowanne Mark, while "54 Duncan Terrace" is a tribute to Allan's friend, English pianist Pat Smythe. "Joshua", written by new keyboardist Steve Hunt, is another major guitar statement. "Spokes" is among Allan's wildest excursions on the SynthAxe, and also features phenomenal bass playing by Jimmy Johnson. "Maid Marion" and "Peril Premonition" were contributed by Steve Hunt and Chad Wackerman. The album's most moving tune is perhaps the closer "Endomorph", a beautiful tribute to Allan's parents, with lyrics by Rowanne and a killer vocal performance by Craig Copeland. | ||
