The third album from this band from Norway.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of percussion, drums, bass, guitars, glockenspiel, harpischord, clavinet, minimoog, mellotron, piano, organ and vocals.
Three guests added voxals and saxophones.
This was their first album after they had changed their name from Popol Vuh to Popol Ace.
The band moved towards operatic pop and art rock on this album. There are still some traces of progressive rock and psych rock here.
There is a lot of pomp in the music on this fifty minutes long album.
The excellent vocalist Jahn Teigen is still to a large extent carrying their music. It is easy to believe the (false) rumours/story that Jahn Teigen was in the running to become Genesis new vocalist after Peter Gabriel left that ship. Sadly, Stolen From Time was also his final album with Popol Ace before a long solo career made him a national treasure. He sadly passed away some years ago.
The other musicians is also doing a good job.
The songs on this album is still good and this is another good album from a band who were probably the best progressive rock band in Norway at that time.
