Overview:

This is an album which will appeal greatly to fans of the 'Saucerful' and 'More' era Pink Floyd sound. The four tracks on this album have some great acoustic guitar work along with some stellar Richard Wright-esque organ work. Despite the obvious influence in sound, don't expect this album to be a second-rate imitation. 'Edge Of Time' offers up four (inter) stellar tracks guaranteed to take you on a voyage through time! Much of the music has a subdued, yet intense quality which at times explodes forth with eerie electronic sounds. The title track contains the only lyrics on the album which are presented in poem form:
"You will meet me there at the edge of time. The fire-sea licking my feet gas and damp, wind and rain, snow, heat, waters, ice and pain. Damned souls cry "Forgiveness!" The past will be future and future will be past. Not one thing in our world that will ever last. Only you and me until eternity shall that spirit one containing two wander through space and peace we knew."
This is a great album for those of you who, like myself, love long tracks which flow freely and build slowly within their tight structure only to lead you back to where you started. The CD contains five bonus tracks, the first four from 1972 and a new track from 1998. A nice addition to bring the total disc time to over 53 minutes. [5/5 Doug]
