"First album by this rather late Krautrock band was undoubtedly their very best one. Actually the only point of criticism one could quote is the fact that it might have sounded already a bit dated in its year of release. Being much in the vein of early Tull, Iron Butterfly, Cream or The Doors the tracks presented here are a wonderful demonstration of this early Art Rock or Proto-Prog style. The title song is the one reminding the most to Tull with a soaring flute and heavy organ. It's a very powerful and grooving one with a sort of psychedelic blues guitar play that's bringing Cream back to mind. "Seasons Of Life" is even in a stronger psychedelic vein, kinda The Doors meet Cream or Iron Butterfly, very groovin' stuff as well. This record doesn't let your foot stand still only for one second. Though it might be not considered as that much progressive for the year of 1974 "Desert Places" was nevertheless a brilliant album in organ driven Art Rock typical for beginning seventies.
Probably not essential for any prog collector in general, but highly recommended for fans of jammin' and groovin' early 70s psychedelic blues rock!" (progarchives) _________________ "And can’t you see you’re in on it?

So every year i seem to have some sort of project. Most of the time it's some structured way to compile a list of albums i haven't heard before with the intent to try on new music. I usually go year-by-year.
I haven't felt like doing that this year. Sure, i'll still listen to new-to-my-ears stuff that crosses my path, but i just don't feel like doing the "legwork" behind selecting albums to try.
Instead, i've decided to listen to every album in my top 800+ one at a time beginning with #1 to not only revist my favorites, but also to double-check the albums are in as high esteem with myself as i have ranked and rated in BEA.
So without further ado, i'll start from the top. Now listening to:
