ACT ONE

1. Poet and Pesant and the sound of... yes this classic piece of the same name by the composer SUPPE; even MALMSTEEN took it up later, normal for a neo-classical guitar hero; brief guitars from the 60s from the time of the Anglican bandits, a piece which gives pride of place to the organ 2. Passacaglia organ of the time, yes in France it was ANGE with Francis who started using it; good-natured pop rock tune, with Alan's rhythmic melodic ballad; the classic melody evident behind it; like a cavalcade break that moves seriously, like a heavy riff that Jimi HENDRIX would have released; the piece in search of sound; a bit of 'Sarabande' later put on the 97 CD. The reminiscences of The NICE are obvious here 3. Memory for the radio edit before its time, a sound on the WHO which will come later; very short with a guitar solo that deserved better!

4. Raymond's Road and the 2nd side which starts with a very famous classic tune; a piece of more than 10 minutes which looks at DEEP PURPLE, well which of the egg and the chicken, which had started? The most important thing is to remember that this album dates from 1970 and that it already had all the progressive markers within it; the rise, the crescendo, BACH in disorder as its obvious; back when we were talking about the MOODY BLUES and their fusion with classical instrumentation to create a progressive sound; it goes up, yes we chat and we would forget the organ solo on the machine-gun drums which never stop hitting in all directions; EMERSON, here GRIEG you want some here, and the bald mountain go ahead don't hold back; it's going up we said and we ask ourselves the question of why this album was not praised? Maybe too pumped on these classics, that's one answer! In the meantime the motorcycle is leaving, yes finished 5. Light Cavalry for the variation, the ramblings of Alan on the different keyboards, who will look to BACH and colleagues for a remarkable ride; this intro is remarkable and would almost extinguish Martin's verse; well already an orchestral break with shattering drums, ah how beautiful it was, the return of the verse, the Griegian finale and yes well done, but probably too predictable and not enough sounds of their own, in short a beautiful album which despite its age n Has hardly aged at all.
