V

Well I guess you can say "they did it again". For those who are "Beard heads" will drool over "V" with their 27 minute opus extravagenza track "The Great Nothing"... a highlight for this prog lover. I continue to be amazed at Morse's ability to write such compelling and different music time after time. "V" delivers that pattented BEARD rapid time signature and mood altering music with great lustre and sophistication. They even revisit their song "Thoughts" with another wonderful GENTLE GIANT'ish allusion and have been clever in naming it Thoughts 2! Clearly one of my personal big loves has been their fine use of instrumentation which continues with "V" featuring loads of fine analog keyboard work and mellotron. Overall this is just a great album dripping with that musical prowness that can only be SPOCK'S BEARD. Go Get This Album!
