Where do I begin?

"This is quite simply one of my favorite albums ever. I feel sorry for people who don't own it. It has a "Beatles in their weird drug phase" meets a "Pink Floyd the Wall" or "Jethro Tull Thick as a Brick" kind of "Hey we have a lot to say" feel to it.
Brilliant."

Classical Klaatu

"A big departure from their first CD, 3:47 EST. A concept album with outstanding production and track flow. Some great songs but it takes a couple of listens before you settle in with it because it 's very different from the pop rock material from the first album. Title track "Hope" is a great song by any standard with an uplifting message that's still applies today. The CD has the obligatory Paul McCarteny sounding tune with "We're Off You Know" which is not a knock. It's a terrific tune. A galant effort and probably the best Classical / Rock album every made."

An Amazing Journey in Sound

"I remember way back in my college days - I was reading "Lord of the Rings" for the fifth time and I came across Klaatu's "Hope" album - what an amazing sound! It seemed as though these guys had found a way to evoke musically the feelings of joy, adventure, wonder, loss and peace that a reading of the "Rings" trilogy did - what an amazing feat. I listen to the album today, and it remains as fresh to me now as it did those many years ago. It also reminds me that imagination is a powerful tool and needs to be exercised regularly - this album is like a "NordicTrak for the Imagination" Thanks for the incredible journey guys!"
