"Dedicated to Christopher Oliva whose music will live on in the hearts of Savatage fans everywhere."
All music and lyrics by Jon Oliva & Paul O'Neill.
Despite what the line-up seemingly was here, Jon Oliva recorded every single instrument except some solos which were actually laid down by Alex Skolnick, even though he wasn't officially in the band at the time. However, Johnny Lee Middleton is listed as bassist and Steve Wacholz is credited with drums.
Some versions include photos of the Zak Stevens, Alex Skolnick, Johnny Lee Middleton and Steve Wacholz line-up. Others feature Steve Wacholz's replacement, Jeff Plate.
"Alone You Breathe" is a tribute to Criss Oliva and features elements of older Savatage songs.
"Chance" is Savatage's first experimentation with the counterpoint, a compositional tool/element they would reprise in all subsequent releases.
A video was made for the title track.
Recording information:
Recorded at Morrisound Studios, Tampa, Florida. USA.
Mastered at Masterdisk, New York, New York, USA.
