All songs wriiten by Steve Howe except "Lost Syphony", "Will O' The Wisp" and "Pleasure Stole The Night" written by Steve And Jan Howe.

"Doors Of Sleep" contains a poem "At Night" by Alice Meynell.

"Beginngs" was orchestrated by Patrick Moraz.

Recorded at Morgan & Advision Studios in 1975.

That's a good album but it sounds a little like being always the same with different lyrics. For sure, the guitar solo (Ram) is amazing but a little bit short!

Technically, it will be enjoyed by the accoustic-guitar-lovers (like me) and the youth fans of Steve Howe (Yes, there are!) will surely prefer "The Steve Howe Album" (like me).
