Notes:
The album starts with one of Tom Rapp's best songs: Snow Queen. A typical 'Pearls' song with typical 'Pearls' musical arrangements. Some of the songs tends towards pop-music, e.g. a drummer has joined the band and gave some of the songs more beat. Nevertheless a great album.
Again, the album was credited to both Tom Rapp and Pearls Before Swine.
