Only six tracks, mainly instrumental, but they’re very long, two almost 10 minutes playing time. Also, the echoes of prog rock continue in that Keith, a minister at a Nigerian originated ministry (see the review of his book Characteristics Of A Minstrel) features some Wakeman-esque synth on the over-pompous instrumental opener “Dawn Of A New Day”. More successful is the dance groove of “Victory Dance” but here too the limitations of the programming soon drag it down. There is some elegant and flowing piano on the closing “Thank You”. Keith clearly intended to make a strong and indeed prophetic musical statement. Sadly, to this reviewer at least, he’s simply made a very dull CD.
