Alright!

This was actually the first piece of Avant-garde music i ever picked up, and, nostalgia aside, this remains one of the best i've ever heard. While it is somewhat difficult to acquire (no more than Gentle Giant[for me anyways]), it is one of the most rewarding albums ive listened to. Each listen brings greater understanding and appreciation for the greatness of this album. I actually enjoy every song on this album about the same, though i would say "Ella Guru" gets the most listens. The instrumentals may initially sound trashy or childish, but on closer listening they are quite lucid and very well arranged and played, especially French's drumming. There cannot be enough praise for the heartbreaking (yes heartbreaking) vocals of the Captain!

Highly recommended!!!
