In the midst of a discography that's famous for its high ratio of throwaway albums, one can't help cheering this guy on when he applies himself and comes up with a solid effort. Despite the ominous subject, there's a fair amount of Wakeman's light-hearted joking around. "Dedicated to all who would like to go to Mars and especially to those who are convinced that they have already been there." This is a very enjoyable album of pretty good instrumentals. The majority of it is memorable and substantial material. His band seems like they're having fun and the performances don't sound quantized to death. I especially liked the shadowy harmonic movement and creepy flute melody of Tharsis Tholus and the bouncy, Puckish theme of Pavonis Mons.
