Breathless However, the group retained its jazz influence and
progressive sound on other tracks. Notable examples of
this are "The Sleeper" and "Echoes", which sound similar
to music contained on early albums like Mirage and Moon-

songs the group ever recorded.
This album shows how the band continued trans-
forming their sound into a pop-like sound, while it also
displays the group’s progressive and jazz roots and other
styles as well.
