EVEN IN THE QUIETEST MOMENTS ...

Whenever I am so tired listening to prog music with high degree of complexities, I sometimes turn my playlist into softer one like this Supertramp 'Even in the Quietest Moments...". As the album name implies, this album is good for those of you who want relaxing as there is basically no complexity offered right here. As far as Supertramp I always enjoy the combined vocal quality of Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies. All songs contained here in this album a very good and all of them have good melody. Musically, this is something like an unplugged album with piano and acoustic guitar as main instruments. Give a little bit (4:07) is a nice opening with good piano work and sax solo. Lover Boy (6:49) flows in similar style with good insertion of electric guitar solo. Even in the Quietest moment (6:39) starts beautifully with acoustic guitar fills in an atmospheric nuance. The guitar fills remind me to the opening part of 'More Than a Feeling' by Boston even though the two songs are completely different in style. From now On (6:10) was quite popular in my country at that time.

Overall, this is a good one for a change. Keep on proggin' !
