    Here is Jeremy's first custom album. It's filled with older guitar and keyboard (organ-type) sounds. If you like his other stuff, pick this one up too. The song construction reminds a little of Steve Hopkins' (of Stryken) solo tape. Heavy reliance on Beatles/John Lennon sounds.

    This is an album that takes getting used to. At first, because we're talking an album recorded in 1984, you may be taken aback by the somewhat thin and dated production, but later listenings allow an appreciation to develop for the song melodies and sounds.

    This isn't Jeremy's best work, but it's good. Some of the highlights are his three instrumentals, which incorporate semi-spacey keys and guitars. "Heaven At Midnight" is a pretty heavy song, yet weighted down with a keyboard-heavy rhythm section.
