2 God Walks with Us
3 I Stand Alone
4 Meet Me at Midnight
5 Hey Josephine
6 Far Away
7 Please Change Your Mind
8 Sleep Angel
9 Spread Your Wings
10 In the End
This is clearly the best album since "Battle Lines". John Wetton teaming again with Geoff Downes to get a bit of the Asia sound without Asia.
The album starts in a standard way for John Wetton since "Battle Lines" - a short beautiful instrumental ‘Paradox’ followed by a great rocker ‘Let Me Go’. ‘God Walks with Us’ takes the listener to a more spiritual dimension. ‘I Stand Alone’, ‘Hey Josephine’ and ‘Please Change Your Mind’ are typical Asia tracks. ‘Meet Me at Midnight’ is a beautiful acoustic soft track in the vein of ‘Walking On Air’ or ‘Arkangel’. ‘Far Away’ is another song with a nice melody - very emotional song inspired by John's son. ‘Sleep Angel’ is a beautiful ballad - a very sensitive love song. ‘Spread Your Wings’ is a soft emotional song.
And finally the closing track… ‘In the End’ - a pure gem. It is THE closing track every album should have. John Wetton asked Annie Haslam to sing the parts of the song that were out of his vocal range and the duet works really well. And the cello from Hugh McDowell on the outro is simply genial…
