The only recording of The Lost Pilots' "Opera": a continuous piece of 5 distinct but thematically-related movements, and the band's last major work.

 This may have been the only public performance, though the opening and closing movements, "To the Beginning" and "Open up Inside", were also performed as self-standing songs.

Drummer and backup vocalist Tom Dankocsik gets the cover photo:  Tom held us together...through this song, and as a band.
