When you came to me, in the darkest night
A night without a moon
Not even the starlight
And I could still hear your tune
With a smile on your pretty face
And the eyes black as the sky
But in them, there was no trace
Of happiness inside
So I tried, and I tried, and I tried
To turn you back before it was too late
As you walked to my side
And begged me not to wait
Oh please, don't let me be free
For I would do anything it takes
To make a masterpiece just for me
And for thee, a dead end
A mistake
As you lay on the leaves below,
Your face shows no sign of sorrow
To me, "Trip The Life Fantastic" was a must-buy on "Bandcamp Friday" this time. It's one of the few "Drifting Sun" albums not already found in my collection, and an essential one, because it marks the beginning of the prolific collaboration of composer/keyboardist Pat Sanders and lyricist/singer Peter Falconer, which was, in my opinion, the best creative pairing the band ever had.

Well, I wouldn't say that the music of "Section IV" defies genres... in my opionion, it belongs to the neo-prog genre without any doubt. But on the other hand, there's nothing wrong with that. The important thing is that the band contributes great new work to the genre, helping to keep it alive. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)

A career-spanning live album from the European experimental rock band, featuring King Crimson's Gavin Harrison on drums. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 27, 2021
Discovered this album by investigating other peoples collections. Its worth getting just for the opening track alone. Such a beautiful melodious song. The whole album is good and well produced a great find. Lush arrangements give it that bit extra.
Fantastic piece of work. Brian White
