RHAPSODIES

First of all, I wonder if this is really a Rick Wakeman album. After a genial Criminal Record it came to this... I would like to say I admire the ambition of Rick to explore very many musical styles and territories, but the result is often surprisingly bad and even awful. This album is one of that situation. I like rhapsodies as a musical styles , but these are too strange and bizarre for me. Let me say straight: this music fits very well when you go to a restaurant with someone for a long dinner , but only in this case!!! In another place and time, this album does not go... Sorry, folks! Not a progressive work at all, but a music for old fashion clubs and big restaurants.
