- Wouldn't releasing an album during that time be quite risky because of the ongoing legal issues with Apple Corps[1]? In 1991 Apple legal was so paranoid that they even worried about the names of Mac OS system sounds[2].

- This leaves me without words, and I only listened to the first track.
- "Breaking Through" (~22:00) is, truly, an artifact from a lost era. They don't write power ballads like that any more.
- We’re making it out of Cupertino with this one.
- Time will tell wether I find myself singing "Apple II Forever" in the shower.
