I came across 'One Niter' many years ago and firstly was really impressed by the photo of the band on the rear sleeve!! All that Kit!! A bit like the back of Ummagumma.. and set in some weird sculpture park.. A great European prog lp! Not so impressed with 'Hats of glass' with its version of Chris de Burgh's 'Spaceman came a travelling'.. there are a couple of really good tracks but a bit of filler in there too. Have meant to get the debut lp for years but just haven't got round to it. |

It's weird, after someone complained about a certain album with Eelie Craig Hit and Miss. I checked their discovery and bought all their albums in the past few days.
Hit and Miss the hardest to find. I can sum up, this is a great band from Austria which was often forgotten. This band has elements of Camel, Nektar, ELP, Rick Wakeman, Stackridge, Colosseum, Soft Machine, Pink Floyd, Procal Harum.... The list goes on... This band is a Symphonic/Neo/ Jazz Fusion/ Crossover of music which started in the 70s.... How I rate these albums 1. Hats of Glass.... 10/10 2. One Niter .... 9.5/10 3. Eela Craig debut album 1971... 9.5/ 10 4. Missa Universalis ... 9/10 5. Virgin Oiland .... 8.5/10 6. Hit & Miss .... 5/10 7. Symphonic Rock .... 9.5/10 Edited by noni - September 10 2017 at 18:31 |

Yeah, preferably quite a lot more. It says under ratings which are under the review box:
Incidentally, I don't think your review will now show up on the front page because you already rated it. I tried to delete your original rating yesterday, but it wasn't working. Edited by Logan - September 10 2017 at 17:57 |

You managed to edit your rating, but there is no review. Maybe it hadn't sufficient words? By the way because of Captcha, be really careful to save your review before you submit it. Even before that, and I haven't reviewed much, I lost two reviews that took me a long time to write. I redid them both, but not nearly as well as the first time I wrote them.

Hit and Miss.......This album is nothing like the other releases.... Not at all progressive... Still a good album though!... Most Eela Craig fans might find this quite a shock!.... Personally I like it!!... Depending on personal tastes, it's a worthy album to own. It's a shame this album cannot be listened on the internet?.... 3/5

Just managed to pick up Hit and Miss. This is quite a pop album, not bad at all though!!!... Not as progressive compared to their other releases.
Suppose the album goes with this title

The debut album is a killer !! Top marks.
Others I have in my collection are Hats of Glass, and Missa Universalis. Both are quite good. Very good band that flies under the radar tbh. |

Still looking for the Hit and Miss album, if someone can help. Prefer a mp3 download!

No worries, thought from your post that sounded the case, I can delete your rating. With the quick rating feature it's an easy mistake to make. That it has so few ratings I'm guessing that it's very hard to come by.
As to another site maintenance matter, not that I want to turn this thread into that.
It seems that progarchives should have listed the Symphonic Rock album under compilations rather than the stdio albums section (I don't suppose that there's any reworked material). http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=92 Rateyourmusic certainly has it listed as a compilation. http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/eela_craig As does wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eela_Craig and discogs https://www.discogs.com/artist/973413-Eela-Craig Safe bet to move into the right category, so going to...

IMO, yes, those are their two best. Btw, Symphonic Rock is the CD two-fer that compiles both those albums (minus two songs).
