the Theater's fifth studio album....
rock/prog rock/hard rock/ ballads all form this album...
a concept album also,
story is about a man who is hypnotised into revealing his past life,
that life revolves around him being a married woman who is living with her alcoholic, gambling husband,
she basically seeks solace/comfort in the arms of her husband's brother,
the brother wants more than the role of comforter and when she wont take it further he murders her...
as it turns out, the therapist who is conducting the hypnotherapy happens to have been her husbands brother in a previous life,
when the guy is brought out of his hypnotic state he is followed home by the therapist...the ending of the album is left open as to
exactly who kills who in the final confrontation....
a recent poll of readers in Prog magazine saw the album come out as their #1 prog rock album of all time
this is one powerful album, and is without a doubt one of those I would take to a desert island with me.....
several of the tracks on here could have been Pink Floyd songs, my favourite is one of them IMO.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM
