A definite improvement over their self-titled debut, and a decided turn into a more
progressive direction. The PFM parallel still applies, though even more pronounced
this time, with a greater role for Maurizio Mori's keys. On their previous outing, he
was pretty much limited to organ and piano. This time, he adds synthesizers and
Mellotron to proceedings, adding much symphonic depth.The chief standout is the opening track, "Cosmic Mind Affair", full of bright harmonies, winsome melodies and memorable keyboard riffs. In fact, the whole album is packed with the sumptuous, CSN-derived vocal harmonies which were the saving grace of their first album. Bernardo Lanzetti still sounds unnervingly like Roger Chapman. If you're a Family fan (as I am), this won't be a problem. If not, at least console yourself with the knowledge that he does indeed sound better in harmony than solo.
