’Mirage’

What a superb album ... for me, Nimrodel is the brightest of its jewels ...

The song by which Peter Bardens' immortality is sealed!

However, I'd rather listen to anything they did when Bardens was in the band. The rest is quite boring IMHO.

Depends what you're looking for, of course.

I find "Nude" quite dull - and everything after it up to "Stationary Traveller", which has some stellar moments of Andy's one-note wonders. On the Pressure Points live album there's even a bit of Bardens to go with the "S/T" and "Snow Goose" material. It's generally fantastic and well worth the investment IMO, despite the nosedive in the middle couple of numbers ("Cloak and Dagger Man ).

The interplay between Bardens and Latimer was priceless, of course, and was a great loss to the band when he left. Bardens' solo material really wasn't up to snuff without Latimer to play off.
