After many years of separation KANSAS finally have re-united with a grand symphonic album full of great songs and excellent musicianship. Very much in the style of old KANSAS "Somewhere To Elsewhere" contains all those huge Livgren epic keyboard runs with fantastic vocal harmonization's. Guitar work is also quite tasty with some intricate technical playing which sounds superb mixed along with Robby Steinhardt's violin and viola solos. The opening track is perhaps the best on the album "Icarus II" with some great sound explosions and mood shifts... very symphonic and full of grandeur. Welcome back KANSAS!
