  • Description

    Saga's ninth studio album "The Security of Illusion" was originally released 1993 and marks the return of Jim Gilmour (keyboards) and Steve Negus (drums), who both had left the band in 1986. This new reunion definitely sparked new creativity into the band. While still sticking to their guns, the album features a slightly more progressive, slightly harder sound that awakens vivid memories of their early 80's period. Fans praise "The Security of Illusion" as a truly appropriate comeback of the original lineup. With "Mind Over Matter" or "Stand Up", the album features the Canadian's rocky side but doesn't neglect a soft touch with the tender ballad "Alone Again Tonight" or "Voila!", which is a nice classically influenced instrumental. For this re-release, the album was completely remastered (2015). The track listing is completed by two additional live bonus tracks, newly recorded in Hamburg during their European Tour 2015. A CD jewelcase edition.
