Here is a re-upload of this album becouse the other one had a track missing and a mixed up tracklist. According to the back-cover of the album this tracklist should be correct (I am almost sure the one at Metal-Archives are wrong, they have seperated the text in the parenthese as single songs.). There should be only 16 tracks but the intros of two of the songs are seperated from them. Also if someone have their Imperilled Kingdom, The Pernicious Town or They all looked so kind' demos for share get in touch please.

1.	The Awakening
2.	Gathering Clouds
3.	The Forthcoming Storm

Exploder was formed in Portsmouth / Southhampton in the early 80's releasing a demo in 1983 and then this full-lenght one year after; a very underestimated album to bad. I have to give the vocalist "Bob Bruce" huge credits for his great vocals and also the musicians for their delivery of amazing progressive influenced nwobhm with elements of Shiva and german Eloy. The tracks "Take it Away" and "East of Eden" are for sure masterpieces!. The album was released with inserts in black cover (200 items, first pressing) and red cover (2000 items).

1.	Try To Lie
2.	Use Your Love
3.	Take It Away
4.	Maginot Line
