Touch [SHM-CD] [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)]TouchTOUCH
The band's music is wonderful psychedelia. The publication is excellent. The SHM format is good, but the disadvantages are related to the poor quality of the original recording.
-
Affinity [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)] [SHM-CD]AffinityGreat band for all time!
"... the AFFINITY team, with its amazing vocalist Linda Hoyle, who can now be boldly called one of the best singers on this side of the Atlantic" - such words were met by the press of the UK appearance of a new group.Excellent release, I highly recommend!

Windchase [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)] [SHM-CD]Sebastian HardieArt-rock in Australian style
The 2nd album by Aussie band. Very beautiful at times with mellotrons, hammond, moog, tasteful guitar licks and floating tracks.Thin, delicate remastering, good release.

ON THE WAY TO EDEN [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)]
Eden RoseON THE WAY TO EDEN [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)]Eden RoseInteresting job.Complexity typical for Classic Symphonic Progressive, the virtuosity of Jazz-Fusion, and the energy of Hard Rock are merged on this remarkable album. While not as essentially profound and intricate as Van Der Graaf Generator's "H to He Who Am the Only One", to name only a few, "On the Way to Eden" is in my honest opinion better than Yes's "Time & a Word" and many other progressive albums released in 1970. Recorded and remastered excellent. I recommend.

Sufficiently Breathless [SHM-CD]Captain BeyondThe family is dark purple.
This remastered edition of the group's sophomore release from 1973 showcases brilliant performances from Lee Dorman (bass), Rod Evans (vocals), Rhino (guitar), Reese Wynans (keyboards), Guille Garcia (percussion) and Marty Rodriguez (drums). This LP marked the addition of Garcia and Rodriguez to the band, moving their sound in a "Santana-esque" musical direction.Remastering is good, and SHM sounds decent.

The Phantom Of The Opera Complete Edition [SHM-CD]Musical (Original Cast Recording)A masterpiece from Sarah Brightman
She is divine. The voice, the presentation of the material and its symphonic reading, unearthly plasticity creates a sense of presence in paradise. The disc is very well made, a very natural sound.

Ommadawn [SHM-CD]Mike OldfieldThe best is Mike Oldfield.
On OMMADAWN, Mike revealed himself as the discoverer of world music. Before and after he did not have such a profound work.Masterpiece!

No Alternative [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)] [SHM-CD]JonesyJONESY - NO ALTERNATIVE
Mellotronized guitar progression, performed by the band, is very much associated with the debut of KING CRIMSON, although it does not sound so violent and "shizivo" and somewhat closer to hard rock. The vocalist is not bad, but Greg Lake is very far away. John Evan-Jones (by the way, most of the songs belong to his pen) showed himself to be an excellent guitar player, and the rest of the performers were not hit by dirt in the future.
