1967/ 1976
3 stars A good symphonic prog album this "Waters Of Change" by Scottish band Beggars Opera. Symphonic because dominated by organ (by Alan Park) and mellotron (by Virginia Scott) and with good vocalist (Martin Griffiths). The music is a melodic Rock with symphonic treatment, because present elevate orchestrations, also if not complex as Yes, for an example. Correct writing for genre is the winning element of this band (and album) that present also a good axeman, Ricky Gardiner (see the good guitar work in " The Fox", a mix of Jazz and Folk).

Certainly "Water Of Change" is a good album, not a masterpiece. Simply is the music, simply is the final result: Good Rock with synphonic treatment in a good Prog field! So, if you love this type of Prog I think that "waters Of Change" is a good album with extremely positive feelings.

1967/ 1976 | 3/5 |
