 Yeah, it's not Renaissance, but still a decent album Nov 25, 2006
I just wanted to write a review of this after finding some prog snob completely bashing it. Of course it isn't going to be Renaissance, but that doesn't mean that it is worthless. It isn't fair to compare it to Renaissance b/c it is a solo album, and a completely different genre of music. I think people lose something when they deconstruct music so thoroughly. I don't rely on my analytical mind with music- all I care about is if I like the sound. I also think it's a waste of time to compare artists to their past works- the earlier works are usually the most popular because that's the first thing people heard, but I've found that when I've heard bands' later works first, I usually like them better.
Anyway, this is my favorite of her later albums (although I don't think she likes it much). It has variety- the songs are of similar genre, but it's not one of these albums where they all sound the same. It has some new wave effects and other musical interludes which are colorful. To me it's kind of classy and just a fun album for if a person isn't in a "I need an intense ultimate prog listening experience" kind of mood. My favorite songs would be "Moonlight Shadow", "Celestine", "Wishing On A Star" and "One More Arrow."
Actually, this album helped me to discover Renaissance. When I was a kid my parents played it. I loved "One More Arrow" and was like "hey it's that lady my parents always listen to". At a young age I liked this the best, but I ended up listening to my mom's Renaissance records because of it and have been a fan for a long time. Annie is the greatest.

 A great solo effort from Annie Haslam Feb 16, 2006
This was Annie's major label effort with a full band and it was a gem. "Moonlight Shadow" has remained a concert favorite to this day. "Further from Fantasy" also very popular. Annie really hits the high notes on "Wishing On A Star" and this is one of the best showcases for her voice since Ashes are Burning. This is an essential must have for fans of Renaissance and Annie Haslam.
