Discography All albums available from the music store. have an extraordinary story to tell. After playing live for only two years, their members pursued musical and civilian careers with no idea their recordings had started to gain an international reputation. In 2006, the release of the album by keyboardist triggered renewed interest in their music. They worked with Japanese distributors, and established their legacy, by re-releasing on CD. Their second offering has also been well received, and celebrates their emerging status as “the top progressive rock group since England (Garden Shed, 1977)” (Marquee Magazine). Steve and Rory released their third album on 18th October 2007.

Story behind the song
Narrative: "Life is instinctively inadequate, what you have is rarely what you want. Those born to a life of toil and hardship may dream of having been born to a life of luxury and riches.

Rarely, though, is the scenario reversed - for what is the point in wishing for less than you have, unless, maybe, what you have is gained at the expense of those who have nothing. And to realise this and act upon it requires a higher degree of conscience than one can readily admit to. Gaining this conscience means losing everything: a name, a birthright sacrificed on the altar of equality. This man choose to turn his back on one life and in facing the light, travels into another...."
