For This Moment 05:19 Comments: This is a collection of Steve Howe demos mostly from the late eighties and early nineties with a few older songs tossed in. Much of this album is repetitive, as many of the tracks can be found on "Not Necessarily Acoustic: (although different versions)."At The Full Moon" and "Never Stop Learning" are early versions of ABWH's "Brother Of Mine." "Red And White" became "Birthright". "More About You" is an early form of a section of "Quartet." "Rare Birds" became "Vultures." "Big Love" mixed with his Turbulence song "Sensitive Chaos" became "I Would Have Waited Forever," (this track is the same one found on the bootleg release "We Make Believe." "Barren Land" has sections of "Order Of The Universe." The big surprise, "For This Moment" is a section of "The Revealing Science Of God," although the quality of this track is rough. All in all this is a pretty interesting release. (***)
