Have you tried Moon Safari's Doorway to Summer?

It's produced by Bodin, I believe.
 
I have only heard Dance Across the Ocean from that album, and Yasgur's Farm from Blomljud.  Both albums are on my wishlist however.

I love that album, but it's almost purely nostalgic for me now.


Eh... pop Genesis > Supertramp almost any day for me. Supertramp tend to lean a bit too heavily on the arrangement crutch for my liking. That said, Crime Of The Century (the song) is fantastic. I think Supertramp's material shines most when they ease off a little and don't syrup up too much. I think that's partly my general preference against overly orchestrated stuff, though.


I very easily prefer Supertramp to pop Genesis, but that's partially because Supertramp was an important step along my music history.

Pop Genesis = Pop Supertramp

I tend to think Supertramp's pop songs are cleverer, though Genesis pop songs ala Mama, Turn It On Again, That's All, etc tend to grab me easier.

Btw, my fave song from Even in the Quitest Moments is the title track, it's beautiful and develops very nicely. I've started to enjoy the "epic", but still is by no means a fave of mine, I still prefer any song from Crime to itEmbarrassed

That's because your musical OCD has taken hold of you.

I will stop any activity* for beer.

* well, almost - I think you know the exception.
