Description

The 34th album by The Council of Thirteen continues the progressive and classic rock sounds of the Council. 16 new songs written by keyboardist/composer John W. Edwards. Leading off is the title track with a full ELO/Roxy Music vibe, followed by "No Expectations" an edgy rock tune with a Foreigner edge. The tongue-in-cheek playful "You're Not Mine, But I Want You To Be" is next with a male/female call and response. "The Wave Still Flows" is an ode to the music of the new wave era. "Sailing Somewhere" is an anthemic ballad with a slow build. "I'm Always On Your Mind" is an ethereal female vocal tune with a tear-jerker element. "You Don't Mean To" has a flavor of Cliff Richard 70s/80s songs. "Chasing Love" emulates a Patty Smyth energy and "Beyond The Lines" is an ELO influence power ballad. Following is the gothic heartbreaker "A Beautiful Kind Of Damage". "Let The Dark In" is progressive gothic anthem in the Siouxsie and the Banshees tradition. "Neon Don't Lie" is an energetic driving rocker. "Right Where You Are" is pure 80s male pop/rock. "Same Old Scene" is a light danceable pop high energy tune with a 10,000 Maniacs vibe. "Still When She Moves" is another piece of dark gothic pop/rock with emotive female vocals. "Nothing Left To Prove" closes the album with a heartfelt male vocal with a flavor of John Parr. ELO, Roxy Music, Kansas, Honeymoon Suite, REO Speedwagon, Alan Parsons Project, Asia, Genesis, Cheap Trick, Foreigner, Heart, Fleetwood Mac, Pat Benatar, Journey, Styx, Siouxsie & The Banshees, The Buggles and more!
