IN THE REGION OF THE SUMMER STARS (1984)

A stunning album that combines orchestral arrangement with heavy rock, it is totally anthemic. Any band that can move from the beautiful piano of The Lovers to the Guitar Heavy The Devil and not lose either your interest or delight is never going to fail. Unfortunately it was a case of wrong place wrong time as punk swept this away, the fact that The Enid had a punk attitude meant little. My brother saw them at reading and turned me on to them whereupon we followed them throughout 78 and 79 climaxing in wonderful gigs at the Marquee to "celebrate" Charles and Dis wedding! But back to this album it is a joy to sit and hear it in one listen and as the album finishes put the buggar back on again!
