Comments: One of these days I am going to learn to stop buting Mr. 
Wakeman's solo albums. This is more cheese from Mr. Wakeman. I was
excited when I saw that he had a supporting band for this album, but
the supporting band includes a percussion programmer! I don't even
think real drums would have helped. His remake of "Starship Trooper"
is almost as bad as his son's remake on the yes tribute album. If you want
a good Rick Wakeman solo album, try his first three or try last years
_The Piano Album_. (*)
