"Rebirth" is an appropriate description for the style of music contained on the album. It is the rebirth of classical styles with contemporary influences intermingled through- out. The classical influences are expressed through the keys of the piano, stylized interpretations of famous clas- sical movements. Many movements similar to Bach are evident throughout the album. Other noticeable influences included are a raga played on the harpsichor,I, and a mod- ern jazz piece entitled 'Wanderer". An interesting note a- bout the album is that the only resemblance to rock is in one of the vocals.
