I have noticed that the Scottish 60's group - Writing on the Wall - do not feature in the A to Z list. I have being listening to their album 'The Power of the Picts' and wonder if anyone else has had the pleasure of obtaining a copy of this album and if so what do they think about the music?

It's OK I think- although the band should definitely be included at some point- but I find the production to be very poor and the songwriting is no great shakes. Compare this to their song 'Buffalo' in 1973, which Sanctuary have put on various compilations recently, which is assured, well written and well produced. A shame an album wasn't finished at this point (I think there are albums of demos and outtakes around)...
