Comments: A few nice arrangements but a lot of cheesy sounding 
songs too. The version of "Mood For A Day" is probably the best
version of that song ever. However, Steve Howe had his revenge
on Trevor Rabin with an awful performance on "Owner Of A Lonely
Heart" (maybe he wanted to get back at him for those mutilated
versions of "Yours Is No Disgrace" Trevor played in concert all
those years). A great concept, but it falls short on execution. (**)
