One of my all time favorites

"About a million years ago (okay, maybe only 15-20 years ago), I fell asleep with the radio on. I woke around two in the morning to The Blue Garden, and was instantly mesmerized. Find it, buy it, love it - then buy the rest of Masters' catalog too!"

Excellent, but song order on original Def American vinyl was

"I'm fortunate enough to own the original Def American vinyl with it's superb cover art and even better track order. I got this CD after searching in vain for CD with the tracks in the same order as the original vinyl.



Rick Ruben's production is superb. You'll be hard pushed to find better sounding drums or guitar on any rock album. It's probably my favourite album of all time.



My only gripe about this CD is its deviation from the original vinyl track order. This had 'Theme for the Scientist of the Invisible' running straight into 'Domino' on side 1. The effect of which is lost in the CD compilation.



Also I have no doubt as to why 'Doraldina's Prophecies' wasn't on the original. It's by far the weakest track and doesn't fit with the rest of this superb album.



I live in hope someone will release a CD with the original track order."

"Good reviews here in describing the music. I have owned this since the original release in my 3000+ disc collection. It is still a pleasure to pull it out. Strong creative energy, great production, solid licks, and interesting vocals. Goss has probably had a larger impact producing but the various MOR incarnations do deserve more recognition. Check the 2001 'Deep In The Hole' as my second fav disc of theirs."
