TIME HONOURED GHOSTS

1. In My Life fast attack bringing the air, a typical sound, the guitar, the choirs, elegiac on the break, a moment of confusion with Stuart's divine organ which finally makes the title enter an anthology piece 2. Sweet Jesus continues on the same plot, mid tempo, intoxicating acoustic and captivating vocal, making shiver with 3 's'; brief mass prog but well calibrated; the guitar solo, simple, effective, no need to machine-gun at all costs to bring delicacy; it ends as soft as the start 3. Titles cloying, yes, fortunately there is the voice of John and Les and the keyboard in fact; well a tune of the BEATLES and not only in this all you need is love; a slow to meditate and not get carried away 4. Jonathan and yes Neil DIAMOND had grabbed the music from the eponymous film, 2 years later Les in vocal castrato flies over this languorous title with a Stuart always perfect with his pompous keyboards, but is the connection with the film real? 5. Beyond The Grave with finally the piece worthy of a BJH, for its melting, symphonic, solemn intro; this struck pad and this majestic organ, this memory of having worn it out on LP and having only the crackles, of forcing me to buy it again in digital and the pleasure found again; the explosion worthy of a YES at the top on its elegiac side, the crescendic rise, simple, deadly.

6. Song For You go guitar, go organ; the intro that feels good, yes prog was that, not a text, sound above all, symphonic to make you travel at a lower cost; after that it's good but consensual, languid but lacking pep, the most pronounced criticism towards them 7. Hymn For The Children guitar arpeggio, for the ballad which is worth it here for its acoustic guitars placed before the keyboard, nice and very dated today 8. Moongirl and the second title which attacks hard, intoxicating organ and guitar in front; the sound of Saturday night dances brought up to date with the covers of PROCOL HARUM; the solemn air of the BJH touch is very present especially in the guitar solo which seems to speak, agreed finale 9. One Night with this drum pad which tickles and its acoustic guitar, title which is worth it for the organ printing the rhythm, John's solo which pulled notes very gently and their hypnotizing vocal duet; the easy title which rests, which proved that one could make good music; and this haunting, warm guitar air which tickled the toe, the ear, the loop is ... done.
