Ten More Tales of Grand Illusion {1999}
Ten More Tales of Grand Illusion, the 'sticky' third album, delivers a maturity that ensures the bands status in the HM./HR genre. The songwriting and arrangements are enriched by the continued support of Tony Ritchie and consummately executed by a solid outfit.
“
This album has a big overall sound with a high level of pathos, melancholy, drama and occasionally a classical feel. When you like this style of music, you'll
love this album. There are keyboards all through this album, which makes it very classical.

“Ten More Tales is one awesome, classy, melodic kickin’ stormer of a new album, and I've got a copy!.”
Skull - Rock Radio Network, UK
“ This is the bands third album and an excellent one it is too, with impressive melodies and big hooky choruses, highly technical guitar playing but not self-indulgent. Lots of impressive harmony guitars played along with great sounding acoustic segments. Excellent keyboard arrangements which make this album very dramatic. The arrangement on this album is excellent and makes it a must for your CD collection. ”
