Oh fine day
You have done me well
Shown me beauties
I've never seen
Oh fine night
You have held me safe
Shown me moons and starts
Never seen
Guardian of my soul
I seek to thank you
Take me on
As you've done
Toi stand and watch
The stars they all look down
And I feel beneath my feet
The world spinning round
I always ahem been neat to you
But never heard your song
And now at last I understand
You've been here all along
Guardian of my soul
I seek to thank you
Take me on
As you've done

Here is the life
That we've been waiting for
This is the start of something
More than we've ever known
Look see how it has grown
Stay with the music
Come join us now
Look to the sun
There lies the source
Be here as one
And know the force
Of so much love
Warmth from the light above
You are the music
We're just the band

Out of the darkness
Comes the light
Open your eyes
No chose of angels
Just a solitary voice
Beware my friends
Come with me too
Follow me, my light leads you
Come with me and fly
Or stay here to die
A way of life it is to end
Run my friends
He calls you to another land
Open out your hands
And ride the silver lands

Solstice UK
"If one band could lay claim to the label ‘prog’s best kept secret’ then Solstice would surely make the shortlist. And I’m speaking here from personal experience. When I put the first of these discs in my CD player my initial reaction was ‘where has this band been all my life’?" Geoff Feakes DPRP ... more

The White Witch - A Symphonic Trilogy
by Magenta
supported by 23 fans who also own “New Life”
This is the most beautiful symphonic progressive music I have heard since I first heard Yes' Magnification nearly 20 years ago. Robert Reed's orchestrations are magnificent, and are very much on par with Trevor Rabin's film scores as well as Larry Groupe's score for Magnification. I am a french horn player, and his soaring horn parts are some of the best I have ever heard. For some reason I could not select Part1: Sacrifice as my favorite track. It is indeed my favorite.

The album takes off nicely with David Longdon's "The Strangest Times", but then gets into immediate free fall and deeply underwater for the next few tracks, quite unexpectedly. Fortunately, it recovers with Nick D'Virgilio's "Apollo" (hey, this guy CAN write good music, although he hides this ability most of the time) and the remaining three tracks, one of which is another Longdon masterpiece. So in the end the final impression is somewhat in the positive range.
