But not anything by them. The early stuff is dodgy. Listen to 'Andromeda Unchained' and especially 'The Detatched'. Not as widdly as DT but with far superior vocals and the production and quality of the songwriting is just incredible.<br /><br />The self Ttiled 'Anubis Gate' album saw the bass player take over on lead vocals. Musically still excellent, but the vocals give the sound a new flavour. Still head and shoulders above most bands though.]]></description>

I bought all subsequent albums;<br />Juggling 9 or Dropping 10<br />Blink of an Eye<br />Tug of War<br /><br />which i didnt think where as &quot;special&quot; as Break, even if their often were superior soundwise and had alot of FANTASTIC songs on them....it was kind of the &quot;same old, Same old&quot; though. But thats not bad as no other band sounds like Enchant, (ok maybe Spocks Beard). I couldnt single out single songs now, as i havent listened to these albums for years, but as you see discussing this band is a soft spot for me, as i REALLY was into them back then......]]></description>
