Engraved upon the dark wooden frame of the bed familiar symbology; through a mirror comes a familiar face looking, not at the past, but at the future with zeal.

Ethereal eddies sinuously compose themselves bleeding together with strongarm six-stringing and rhythms. A rampaging Clarkin solo burns brightly amongst. Budgetary constraints at Jet denied Magnum the use of an outside producer for 1983's Clarkin-produced The Eleventh Hour, which peaked at UK #38.
