ALWAYS NEVER THE SAME

I am a big fan of Kansas starting from early eighties, when I first have listened their music ( It was Leftoverture, happily). The second was "Point of Know Return" ( happily again). Than I found few earlier works, and only after went to latest. To be honest, "Point of Know Return"and "Leftoverture" are two best and last strong albums for me.

And after so many years - "Always Never the Same"... You know, ir returned my interest to the band. No, it is not like I found something new in this concert soundtrack, but old-gold classics sounded well again, a little bit different, but attractive!There are not too many live albums of classic prog groups with Orchestras, which got successful, or at least acceptable. "Always Never The Same" is one of them.

It is realy difficult to mix the sound of rock band with sound of symphonic orchestra, and dóesn't miss the balance. There we can hear the successful example. Plus"Eleanor Rigby "-it sounds very in place there.

I think the album will attract any old "Kansas " fan and confirms group return to form.
