Starlands 2 (1988) — Nicholas Dodd

When Nicholas Dodd left the Glimmerlight, he drifted across the English Channel and there he was recruited by Roy Whenary into one of the most powerful Sagegazer collectives - Dawn Awakening. There, amongst other classics, he recorded the Starlands series: His dream of the Offworld Colony and its environs where his brothers and sisters now dwelled. . . . 1988's Starlands 2, the second of the trilogy, is the pinnacle. Utilizing the ultimate power of his Blue Crystal, his Serenity Stones, and various Yamahas and Oberheims, Dodd evoked a true vision of the stars and galaxies beyond time. The beautiful, angelic voices and floating piano sounds on side one perfectly complemented the richly orchestral sounds of side two. . . . The neon kingdom of the Glimmerlight crumbled to dust, its towers flickering out one by one (devoured by the Progbarian night). The Sagegazers fled - or lingered on Earth, to be reborn in the New Age.
