These guests include: Ian Mosley, Mark Kelly, Andy Ditchfield (DeeExpus), Steven Rothery, Robin Boult and Steve Hogarth.
Lyricswise, "In The Last Waking Moments..." is a concept album about someone who experienced a surreal & bizarre happening and is attempting to comprehend whether it's reality or a descent into madness.

Musicwise, it's a modern progrock album, full of great, moody, pinkfloydish, non self-indulgent music, with appealing melodies, rich textures and an indie approach.
I've got to be honest, I didn't expect such a jewel. Buy!
