Info: Only LP released in 1982. This album is a one-of-a-kind experience, and very rare! They have taken a Meatloaf or The Who kind of concept except made it about Space ( a Rush "2112" kind of feel), added in Space Rock flavorings, narratives that tell the story (reminding of "The Necromancer" by Rush), and spoken (acted-out) parts that play out like an Orson Welles radio show story from the 1940's. It's really quite a well put together album. A unique way to stretch the boundaries of rock and thus being truly progressive. Highly recommended.
The songs tend to flow together, so I kept Side 1 and Side 2 intact as entire tracks, thus there are 2 tracks with each being a side of the album.
Here is someone else's review of the album that tells the story of the concept:
"It's 2099, and amidst some heavily layered synths and late 70's-early 80's discofied AOR cheezoid rock, the inhabitants of Earth have also, through their neglect of the environment and series of nuclear wars, committed the crime of rendering all quantities of water on the planet radioactive and deadly. The good news is that the scientists of Earth have discovered that the element trinogen can restore said water to a taste, smoothness, and drinkability that all good Earthlings need to survive. Unfortunately, the quantities of trinogen on Earth are miniscule at best. However, large quantities exist within the core of the planet Amrakus, a meager 12 light years away. An expedition is duly undertaken aboard the Starship Trinity aided by it's navigating computer Walter. Of course, our fearless crew screw up the extraction of said element and proceed to destroy Amrakus in the process. Black holes and return voyages later, the trinogen is delivered. Earth saved, much celebration ensues, nary a thought given in the narration to the fact that we caused Amrakus' destruction and the extinction of all life on that planet. How very 80's, eh? This one is a real period piece classic, so bad it's almost great."
