Customer Reviews Give me more!!!! These to new guys really added a new sound to this Kayak-album. Kayak's second studio album after the reunion, and the first to feature Bert Heerink on the vocals and Rob Vunderink on the guitars. The have convinced me that this is their best studio album since the reunion. The opening is an 8-minute plus epic about Icarus. Beautiful, and Heerink sung it very emotional, he sings that way in every song. Miracle Man is also very good. All of the songs are very well done except Tradition. That song has a nice guitar-riff, but it's too longwinded. Can't help to say that there are pieces of the song which deserve the name: superfluous. But the rest is well done. Now that they have two guitarists it sounds a little nicer. I recommend this to Kayak-fans and if you are new to Kayak, this might be the right compact disc to get you into Kayak. Keep On Rocking!!!. Glorious S. For us long-starved progressive rock fans in the U. , this is like throwing meat to a starving man. This CD is worth its price for one song alone: "Miracle Man," an ungodly powerful, mega-testosterone, glorious epic that I've blasted until my ears blew out. In my mind, it is perhaps the greatest prog-rock song of all time. Though the rest of the CD includes some ho-hum work, two other songs leave me in awe of Ton Scherpenzeel's composing brilliance: "Hold Me Forever," an achingly beautiful song of lost love that almost brings tears to my eyes, and "Rings of Saturn" a melodic mid-tempo song with a touch of sadness that beautifully ends the CD. If you're at all a progressive-rock fan, you will love this album. Now if only once I could see Kayak in concert here in California, this twenty-year Kayak fan would die happy. A Pleasant Surprise! I purchased Close to the Fire and really enjoyed it. Having been a Kayak fan since Royal Red Bouncer, I was happy to hear that they had reformed as a band again a few years back. It was great to hear Max Werner's voice again after so many years. The songs were equally as good as on previous albums. When I purchased Night Vision I was a little shocked to see that they already had replaced Max (once again). The first listen I didn't really care for the new singer, so I put it aside for a month or so. Then I picked it up and played it again and it struck me! I love this CD! This is one of the very best Kayak CDs recorded so far. Simply great songwriting, great musicianship, great vocals! At first I thought it sounded a little too pop, but after giving it another listen I found it is much, much more. If you like Kayak's music, you will love this CD. .
