| I've really been appreciating Duncan Browne's two solo records from the '70s lately - great stuff though it doesn't quite hit the peaks of the more popular prog artists of that time. Browne's merits got a tip of the hat from Bowie when he covered "Criminal World" (Browne was in the band Metro) but I think his solo records, particularly The Wild Places, are some prog gems. |

Love that guy, especially the second album (1973). But the first (1968) is great too. He's very close sometimes of Mc Cartney at his best.  Duncan Browne - Babe rainbow |

hi, I wish the "METRO" album, before his solo albums, would also get a release ... it is hard to find, and I'm not even sure it is on CD yet. Wild Places and the next album are superlative and exceptional! And I have joyed them and appreciated the musicianship since the very day these came out. I have heard the METRO stuff, a couple of songs anyway, and they were also very good and in the vein of "Wild Places". The early album is nice, but not really as valuable as the metro/Solo stuff later.

The first two albums are excellent.....the first is toned down a bit, but the second is livelier. Both are definitely worth tracking down.....though I think this is much easier these days as both have been re-released with bonus tracks. Duncan Browne's first two were sure tough to come by back in the day. ------------- I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there..... |

| Yeah, I was actually listening to one of the Metro records after Duncan Browne quit...it was generic new wave...a few nice moments but Browne pretty much took the magic with him. |
