Edited 9 months agoSLEEVE WANTED! Looking for UK Vertigo gatefold - Please DM if you have a spare? Many thanks -
Edited 2 years agoIf not for a Vertigo fame and fragile gimmix cover, this would go unnoticed. Nothing worth attention here if you're a prog lover, it simply ain't progressive rock. Vocal is irritant and most of the time it sounds like it doesn't belong to the track in question. Guitar is fine, nothing to write home about though. The album isn't such a rarity at all. -
I did not understand whether this version has A4 and B3 titles on one line? From the picture it looks like it does, but on the 'other version it says no.
I thank you for the answer. -
Another real highlight on Vertigo! Great and emotional compositions (except maybe the conventional opening track), brilliant instrumental playing, extremely confident vocals, good lyrics, clear and modest production, what more do you want? Halsall steals the show by playing both incredibly complex, yet accessible. Listen to the fills in Give it all away. Some subtle vibraphone is featured too, most convincingly so on the closing Magic door. Favourite cut: Air raid shelter, that effortlessly switches from a freaky cauldron filled with jazz to pumping rock. Anarchistic guitar hurricanes in a quiet context, an excellent idea! The ever dodging harmonies of Tell me where you've been are also top-notch. Even better than the debut.
