I love this, though it took a long time to sink in... I still don't have
SR'94, but I do have Prohpets Of Time, which I like a great deal, but this I
think is much better. Even the bits I was unsure of at first (such as
"Warrior", "High Rise" and "Silver M") sound much better now. Though I don't
think the vocals of (Grenas?) the singer for High and Audio are much better
than Niks'.
