"Songwriter, singer and bass player, Martin Page, came in 1994 from behind the "pen" after writing several successful songs for acts such as Starship and Heart, to record this, his first and (so far) only solo work. This is definitely one of those cases where you're left wanting more. His lyrics are amazing: simple, yet touching. And the combination with the music is just perfect. Reminds a lot of the sound of Simple Minds, The Blue Nile, Mike and the Mechanics and Phil Collins' "Both sides..." album. No wonder, Phil Collins sits behind the drums for most of the songs. I certainly hope to hear back from Martin Page soon. In the meantime, this is a highly recommendable album that doesn't sound aged even after 8 years of its release."

"I've listened to this album forever--since I hunted it down after hearing "The House of Sun and Light". The title song is a beautiful, spiritual song on an incredible album. My favorite is "I Was Made for You"...probably one of the most moving, evocative, romantic songs I've ever heard."

Q-FEEL - Dancing in Heaven (Orbital Bebop)

Countdown Its getting to the flight time
Night stars are shining in my eyes
My shoes are going to be the first ones
To dance deep up in the Skies

Dancing in Heaven I never thought I could get my feet this far
(Orbital Be-Bop)
Dancing in Heaven I never thought I could get my feet this far
(Orbital Be-Bop)
(Kick it out)

Slow-Slow- Quick Quick Slow
Slow-Slow- Quick Quick Slow

I'll be the first to Bassa Nova
Ten thousand miles above my legs
You dear, my lady on the Radar
I'll bring a child to Outer Space

Dancing in Heaven I never thought I could get my feet this far
(Orbital Be-Bop)
Dancing in Heaven I never thought I could get my feet this far
(Orbital Be-Bop)

Hey, Here I am
I hear the Universe Sing
The Celestial Scream
I am not alone
Are you receiving me clear
There is Others out here

Dancing in Heaven I never thought I could get my feet this far
