I love the song "Russian Winter" by OMEGA! I love the early OMEGA! I have 2 different versions of 200 Years After The Last War. Both are magnificent!

Salisbury - Uriah Heep (Ken Hensley and David Byron era) |
I was wondering if you remember Lucifer's Friend? They were Classically trained musicians from Germany that hired an English vocalist by the name of John Lawton who later joined Uriah Heep. Their first album was a definite cross between Uriah Heep/Deep Purple..but their second album titled...."Where The Groupies Killed The Blues" was way more progressive containing reflections of early King Crimson that featured violins, cellos, and violas. Those elements were in their style along with the voice of John Lawton . A side project was put together by the band and they titled this unit THE PINK MICE. It was instrumental classical rock. |
Toodler, of course I know him, he was in Lucifer's friend prior to joining Uriah Heep, I also know he collaborated with many great artists plus famous producers, however this is as much I my limited me/moi knows  I am sorry

Cassandra Gemini - The Mars Volta
No other song evokes so many emotions while exhibiting such virtuosity from all the band members.

Anything released after "Where The Groupies Killed The Blues" is disappointing to me. Rock N' Roll Singer. Banquet, Good Time Warrior, and several others sound commercial and unfortunately do not represent the original band's style. I liked John Lawton's vocals on the Uriah Heep song "The Hanging Tree". For that early 70's dark rock period, nothing comes too close to The Pink Mice.

What do you people think of Uriah Heep's Conquest? I get the feeling that it is kind of hated, but i like the lead singer John Sloman from Lone Star.

Oh it have changed so many times and I hope it will also keep changing in the future very often. When I was 12 it was Metropolis pt. 1 for many years. Then there was a weird time when it was ELPs Tarkus and then many years it was Starless. But then Opeth released Ghost of Perdition it lasted until Porcupine Tree released their master piece Anesthetize. I have to pick it, but I must say that new Riverside album have some great songs which could overcome.

No song has yet to topple Starless in my book, but I sure have discovered many wonderful tracks that have come close within the past year.
