Analysis
Some critics have drawn parallels to Miner's rock opera as A Christmas Carol meets The Wonderful Wizard of Oz The tower itself is not a far cry from the elusive city of "OZ" and the idea of meeting different aspects of past and present would bring to mind "A Christmas Carol". Miner's dabbling in metaphysics as exemplified in earlier works from his band "Mantra Sunrise" would suggest such concepts put to rock music. The release of a CD recording of the live Las Vegas performances on the Tributary Music Label in 1998 found a healthy audience in the progressive rock music scene. The album received much attention around the world in progressive rock fanzines and radio shows. A five-page article highlighted both the Las Vegas and Los Angeles shows in the industry magazine Progression Magazine (issue #46 2004).

Famous quotes containing the word analysis:
“A commodity appears at first sight an extremely obvious, trivial thing. But its analysis brings out that it is a very strange thing, abounding in metaphysical subtleties and theological niceties.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“The spider-mind acquires a faculty of memory, and, with it, a singular skill of analysis and synthesis, taking apart and putting together in different relations the meshes of its trap. Man had in the beginning no power of analysis or synthesis approaching that of the spider, or even of the honey-bee; but he had acute sensibility to the higher forces.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
