Yes, their best album for me too, the debut RtF with a seagull..I love all others they did, but this is such a special album, great compositions and performance is so exquisite

Maybe deep purple? But I've listened to it only one time..
My first great impression of Gryphon was their first album, and Treason, which came out in 1977. I am eager to listen to the new one!
Condolences, Renate...
Nantucket is their best for me, then goes Climbing and the Leslie West album Mountain
I'm fan of Hindemith, have about a 100CDs with his music. He is very versatile composer, very strong in both chamber and symphonic music. A violist himself, he wrote a lot of great pieces for strings...
Great album - first heard it in the mid-90s. The second album sounds like rough demo cuts.
I think it's a brilliant compilation of different bagatelle stuff, which shows the variability side of that unique band. Best things are probably the BSS out-takes, plus Lake's Christmas song, and...
Circus is probably my favorite Heep song - anyway, I used to hum it more often than any other of their tunes.
Dreams is based on so called "Titanic" theme - the waltz of Archibald Joyce - Songe D'Automne, written in 1908, - they speed up the melody to marching tempo. The Magician's Birthday is as good as...
First album.
Yes, great flautist. I like his work on Present for Nancy.

I Talk To The Wind - Ian McDonald
Cadence and Cascade - Mel Collins
Thick As A Brick, Bouree, Serenade to a Cuckoo, Black Satin Dancer, My God, A Passion Play, Songs From The Wood, etc..- Ian...

Jet Lag was a big disappointment after the brilliant Chocolate Kings. But Jet Lag is at least listenable, which I can't say of Passpartu.
Surprisingly nice album.
Favorites from I've heard - Phaedra, Stratosfear. In the mid-80s I lost interest.
Ok, so incriminating zep threads never die here. Good tradition. Now it goes in a 'help' attitude - resourceful approach! How to rationalize the myth of glory. This topic draws on serious scientific...
Every Zep opener.
Yes - Yours Is No Disgrace, Roundabout, Machine Messiah.
Rush Tom Sawyer
Genesis - Eleventh Earl of Mar, Dance on a Volcano, Dancing with a Moonlit Knight, The Musical Box,...
All his 6 Symphonies are great..Died too young, what a loss it was.
And I never was crazy about Schizoid Man - usually listen to ITCOCK from I Talk To The Wind onward. Also I skip Hocus Pocus on Moving Waves - which I consider the best album of Focus, on par with the...
Blinded by the Light MMEB - always skip this imbecile song.
Uriah Heep
Yeah, 'egotistic' is a funny reference) How about critics? Aren't they "egotistic" - why not? Maybe they also need a 'producer', who'd help them to set the brains in the right way. And those...
Zero replies...Americans don't know who was Penderecki? ah I see..perhaps due to the "curtain symptom"...I was a fan in my youth ...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krzysztof_Penderecki
CD is an absolute winner so far, and will remain so.
My favorite Traffic album.

Sounds like a mixture of Europe and them circa House of blue light, the only novelty is rather old too, I mean that little comical guitar solo from different music style. But I think they like it...
His 3d outlet, Silent Corner...contains material which was quite fittable for VdGG style, and maybe I like it more, that any of the early ( first 4) VdGG albums. Silent Corner could have done much...
That's a precise notice, indeed it is.
^ Yes, very good. Thanks for sharing this. Webernisms carefully entwined with Far East intotations, very impressive mix
Over- Nite Sensation
Apostrophe
One Size Fits All
Zoot Allures
Sleep Dirt
Accepting the suggested criteria, his first solo album must be Time & A Word.
I like The Lobster of the Fairport Convention. With the music, the effect is terrific
"The Lobster"
Like a lobster I can swim
And can grow another limb
Where a powerless stump you saw
I have...
Haven't heard their new guitarist, so I have a weak hope he isn't an 80s metal fan, as was Mr. Opale. Good news from Jethro Tull - Ian Anderson camp.
This work of Hartmann impressed me the most. Berg's influence can be heard, and Mahler's as well..

Perhaps you have heard not Lee, but John McBurnie, who sang for Jackson Heights? Later McBurnie was a member of Moraz band ( Story of I, Out In the Sun)
I have everything by Free, even the 5Cd box called Songs From Yesterday, - worth to have, there are some unreleased material, and the new mix sounds great. I recommend to continue with Free - get...
Yes, it seems so to me as well.
Sail Away?
This is cool..I'm a huge fan of Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock. And MH solo album.
War Child, I'm sorry, is obviously triple.
Interesting news.
I don't like their melodic shift in the 80s..Much prefer Who Do We Think, We Are, Fireball, Concerto...Burn, last but not least..When they were original, trend setting band.
On the latest Doors tribute Gillan, with support of Yes's Wakeman and Howe, performed Light My Fire. I read about Iron Butterfly, before they've gotten a record deal, were mainly a Doors cover band....
Their Back Door Man rendition I think works well for the album, they gave it a cabaret-like approach, which chimes with Alabama song..I think Morrison's blues was like sprechstimme in pop music) His...
No One Came's groove reminds very much of the Doors track Changeling.
Agree, Who Do we Think, We are is one fantastic album, played very tightly, and songs are great. They never sounded better. Jon Lord shines on that album. Blackmore's solos are very short, except for...
Beautiful work! Reminds me a bit of Zappa compositions for synclavier. I appreciate the meter changes and the mood changes. Also I hear fuge-alike development. Very nice painting, too!
Rare Bird's keyboardist, and main author, Graham Field, died a year ago, in March 2018, I found out recently.
As much as I like Wrights solo stuff within the group, his early songs mostly, and Sisyphus, I find his solo LPs mediocre, boring to hell, frankly. I like however the song "Voices", which reminds of...
Looks amazing, Renate! Very tasteful album cover. :up
Cactus Choir is fantastic, really a 5th album of Greenslade the band, Tony Reeeves played on it. Simon Philips, and Steve Gould, who replaced Andy McCulloch and Dave Lawson, respectively, did great...
The Swedish Radio Concert that was played and recorded on March, 10, 1975 was issued by Purple Pyramid Records in 2013. The sound quality is very so-so..The concert is very enjoyable.
200 Motels was my introduction to Zappa, and it had happened very well.
On Reflection, and His Last Voyage from Free Hand.
Recently bought new Pavlov's Dog - Prodigal Dreamer. Very good album.
Tarkus side 2 could be a bit better with Lake's Oh My Father, and without Eddy
