Released 35 years ago today, this is the fifth studio album from The Choir, an atmospheric alternative rock band that has been active for over 40 years and is still recording new music. I got into The Choir only in the last decade or so, mostly through folks recommending their music and the band re-releasing and remastering their albums. 35 years after its release, this album is still a beautiful collection of instruments, not just your guitar, bass and drums but keyboards, saxophone, e-bow and even some female backing vocals. It sounds less dated that many albums from the early '90s, I'd say. I'm definitely a fan of an album where the opening track, the title track, is a 7-minute jam about heaven or something, and there's a 6-minute closing song too. It's quality rock from the band's earlier days and music that is still worth listening to today. (I need to listen to their other albums more too.)
