In this December's issue of Keyboard magazine "The Muse Awakens" got a spotlight in their Inreview feature. Because Keyboard's site is not updated I'd re-print the review by hand (it's short).
"It's been 25 years since the last release of new material from this legendary prog band, but it's worth the wait. The compositions are by turns beautiful, melodic, grooving, emotive, and humorous. Between David Rosenthal's synth and keyboard palette and Frank Wyatt's saxophones (and keyboards), the orchestrations are lush and inventive. Is it "proggy"? Sure, but not "notey" - just excellent music from some great musicians. Ernie Rideout"
