Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Diamond Head hasJohn Wetton & Ian McDonald (Crimson), Andy Mckay & Paul Thompson (Roxy Music), Eno, Rhett Davies, Robert Wyatt & Eddie Jobson and more, among the prog world notables. a great album, and long a fave of mine. I first bought it in 1975, when I was in grade 10.

Listen Now features Eno, Jobson, Simon Phillips (session drummer par excellence -- was on Mike Rutherford's Smallcreep's day, & many more), singer Tim Finn (Split Enz), Mel Collins (Crimson), Kevin Godley & Lol Creme (10CC studio wizards),Dave Mattacks (Fairport Convention drummer), Francis Monkman (801 Live e-piano & synth man), and others.

Great CDs -- I think they are essential 70s prog!
