WORLD IN MOTION 1

I discovered Crack the Sky only a few years ago. They are the best band no one has ever heard of! Yes, that sounds like a cliche, but they are a fascinating mix of prog rock, Beatles hooks, great rock. That said, their discography is all over the map. If you love the first 3 albums, you might hate the next four. This album is from the 80s and I like it quite a bit. It's not as prog as their early albums, but it's still great. During this period, Palumbo moved away from the more complex songs and focused on straight ahead rock and roll. There are a couple of songs that don't work for me, but overall, great 80s rock sound, similar to Cheap Trick, The Knack, The Cars and others. It's not as sophisticated as some of their later work (like Machine) but if you like the album White Music and want some short & sweet rocking new wave, this is a good follow up.
