One of the most forgotten... but not underrated album of the early seventies, Captain Beyonds debut-album. A great piece of work, hard-edged, dark and heavy music with skilled musicians. Later albums did not live up to the debuts high ------------- Strange avenues where you lose all sense of direction -And everywhere is Main Street in the winter sun. Ian Anderson |

| I've heard that album. Pretty decent hard rock. Captain Beyond was actually a supergroup featuring members of Deep Purple and Iron Butterfly. |

Having heard their first album only recently, I must say that I was expecting something much better. Maybe it's because I do not dig Evans' voice. Maybe it's because everybody says that Capt. Beyond was fantastic. Maybe I'm just getting older... ------------- "He's a man of the past and one of the present" PETER HAMMILL |

I would agree with you on Rod Evans' voice- I often found him to be a workmanlike vocalist in comparison to most heavy rock singers- and to be honest, I'd much rather hear a DP or Iron Butterfly album than this. I think it is a very good, maybe even excellent, album, yet for me the songwriting lacks something... |

I purchased it in CD this month and think is great... Similar to Deep Purple in one sense... ------------- KEEP THE PROMISE YOU MADE |

| Dancing Badly Backwards is a great track. |

That's the only song I've heard of theirs and I have to say I found it rather good. But I thought the track was called 'Dancing Madly Backwards.' |
