This album has been knowingly and lovingly crafted, taking on a strong theatrical stance.

‘Transportation’ sums up everything contained on the whole record - it’s vast, majestic, wild and remote. Billy plays the piano with incredible intent here, creating phrases which contrast later with the more tender parts of the track. An incredible journey, which can be said of the whole album and not just this title track, with some stunning guitar parts courtesy of Steve Howe. Listen carefully as the ‘Transportation’ resolves with a short violin section and you will hear ‘The Ascent’‘.

Ultravox continue to stir the undercurrent of some fast moving waters - Billy’s loving relationship with the keys during ‘Rackaia River’ at a point contain traces of ‘Astradyne’ as it reaches it’s final highs.
‘Perfect Flight’ oozes pure passion – the whole feel of this track has a underlying sexy connotation, and it’ soulful presence sits well in a swanky New York cocktail bar.

Every track that's been included in this wonderful project shimmers with artistic richness resulting in a work of enormous creative wealth that’s both eccentric and adventurous.

It may seem a little extreme to say that this album can push the boundary of every musical continent, but I urge you to go the distance - it actually makes for a very workable and memorable round trip!
