FORCE MAJEURE

This album is almost as good as Tangram but for ' thru Metamorphic rocks', which is not quite up to the essential quality of the rest of the album. To me TD were really fizzing during this period and the ' Force majeure' title track filling side one of this 1979 release is definitely up there with Tangram, Phaedra and Ricochet in terms of highest standards. ' Cloudburst Flight' has some of the most simple and beautiful accoustic guitar beginning the song before all hell breaks loose. The cello contributions by Edgar Meyer also give Force Majeure a very very polished edge. Four and half stars is a fair rating.Dismiss at your peril!
