Wow, you got a full world in there! Reminds me when I came back from the
record store with Rush's "Moving Pictures" I always kept a soft ear for
prog rock ; I really like "chasing rainbows" with the classy verse time
signatures and the powerful chorus. My only critic is about the artwork.
Colors, Font, general composition and overall appearance, let's just say
like /nothing/ about it. Like, come to think of it, a lot of record
artworks from my prog-rock years ;)

Thank you very much for the sharing!
