Somewhat typical "all star" cast gathering from the late 70s. The good news here is the strong Canterbury component brought on by Dave Stewart, Annette Peacock, and Neil Murray. I don't really hear any of Bruford's former bands Yes or King Crimson here, which is not a problem here. At times the album seems on the border of greatness, but it often falls into the trap of many solo albums - too many disparate ideas and styles. It's a borderline 3.5 to 4, but yes, I have to admit it is excellent on the whole, and much better than most that tried this very thing. Still... it seems it should have been better.
Ownership: CD: 199? EG. Straight up reissue, but does contain excellent liner notes.
