For hard core fans only I suppose since they are both mediocre rock albums. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

Hi, The stuff on the first album, helped make Garry Moore even better known ... at least "Nuclear Attack" was huge and well known and used in various places, specially the Policeman's Balls ... that Greg was too busy to have fun with, and everyone else in there was too artsy for him. I like the first album, but thought the 2nd one was not that good. I think his attempt to go all acoustic just did not sound as strong as with the hefty stuff behind him, that gave his lyrics and singing its sharp edge, which was visible in King Crimson and then ELP. Simplified, he has to rely on his voice, and it wasn't enough ... maybe we got spoiled by the other stuff! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

Though I know "Nuclear Attack", the rest of these recordings I have never heard. And I had no idea that the members of Toto were involved in the first of these two albums. Interesting. I think I will buy these releases. |

When compared to the strength and beauty of the well known stuff of his with ELP and KC, I would say that the solo albums are a disappointment. The first one is OK, mostly because of Garry Moore, but the 2nd one, to my ears, THEN, was a poor excuse for an album. In some ways, it is more of a curiosity shop nowadays than anything else. ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!
