This is from the original double vinyl set, not the 'remixed' one.
Of course, it is different tastes that EF speaks with his endless tinkering of classic period TD, and his solo catalogue, and I'm not going to judge that here.
Suffice to say, this was released at about the same time as Cyclone was causing disquiet. Strange, since 'Ages' shows EF with a very distinct style of his own. Far more TD than 'Aqua' or 'Epsilon', and yet a different sense of structure. It doesn't try to be commercial or challenging, or self-indulgent, as so many solo albums get to be. Even the track names are different to the TD style ones!
If you're wanting to get a good grounding of EF's solo style, this is a good starting point.
The only real problem with this release is the loss of 'Golgatha and the circle closes'. This is a bad error, as with any editing of double albums to cram them onto single CD. Please, its no big deal to release a double CD for a double album.!
