It was many years before I realised the true significance of this album. At times sad, at times uplifting, it is truly an amazing record of the love all of the band members held for Syd. I was fortunate to see Pink Floyd in the grounds of a Chateau in France many years ago and they opened with Sine on You Crazy Diamond. I shall never forget how mind blowing that concert was and whenever I listen to this album I am whisked right back to that balmy French summers evening to a listening experience which was truly unforgettable.

I remember having this on vinyl for Christmas back in the eighties. I still enjoy listening to it now as much as I did back then, great guitar work from Steve Hillage throughout the album. The track 'Fish' tips a hat to what Gong produced in their album 'Shamal'. The Gong Shamal album line up are all in place on this album. [First added to this chart: 03/19/2022]

I have all of Budgie's early works on vinyl and all the albums are excellent, this one though is top of the tree. Budgie had a natural ability to move from Black Sabbathesque riffery into mello beautiful balladry. The first two tracks on this album are a prime example. [First added to this chart: 09/04/2021]

I've been after a Jeff Beck album on vinyl for a while and was so pleased to pick up this orange vinyl re-issue. The album is absolutely superb, it is cool, exciting, complex, it touches on several musical genres, jazz, blues, rock all cross paths. Really pleased with this purchase.

You know how good an album is when you come back to leave a further comment after the original. Keep your eyes open vinyl lovers, this album along with Pawn Hearts, H to He is the Only One and The Least We Can Do Is Wave to Each Other are all about to get re-issued on vinyl! I have listed the rating further to my original rating because I have realised there is so much to hear on this album. Sleepwalkers is an awesome prog offering!

Voyage Of The Acolyte

The first solo album I purchased by Steve Hackett was Spectral Mornings, I then worked through later albums and a couple of earlier ones than Spectral Mornings but never went back to the solo beginnings until today. This album is like a bridge between Gabriel Genesis and later solo Hackett. There are hints towards much later staccato type styles like 'The Mechanical Bride' in 'A Tower Struck Down', which is quite a tough listen when compared to the gentler more acoustic sounding pieces like 'Hands of the Priestess Part 2'. As an album, quite a challenging listen. Personally I prefer ''Spectral Mornings' and the more later works. [First added to this chart: 03/21/2021]

A Night At The Opera 

 Queen

Buy album

Having only recently got into buying Queen LP's (yes they're all on vinyl) I think my opinion of this album is that other good tracks are overshadowed by 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. 'Death on two Legs', 'Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon' and 'You're my Best Friend' are all excellent tracks. A personal favourite is 'Love of my Life', particularly with the acoustic guitar and piano interchange supplemented with a harp glissando and what sounds like a viola. I don't dislike the 1930's feel of Good Company either, this is probably the only piece of music I have heard where a banjo sounds good. Also need to add, I don't get what the hang up was with using synthesisers, particularly when later albums like Works and The Game use synths as a foundation! [First added to this chart: 02/11/2021]

Time And Tide

There is another entry for this album on this site which is incorrect. This fourth progressive studio album was released in 1975, not 1972. For any keyboard geeks out there like myself, Greenslade had two keyboard players, both using the Italian produced Crumar Multiman string ensemble. These keyboards add a very unique almost eerie at times foundation to the Greenslade sound. Coupled with Arp and organ they used, a very interesting sound collage could be created. This is a very underrated progressive album. [First added to this chart: 03/26/2022]

One of the more 'acoustic' sounding affairs which quite rightly befits the album title. More folky than the progressive leanings of Thicks As A Brick and Aqualung. A fine album. Baker St Muse is the standout track for me, this has a more 'progressive' feel to it. [First added to this chart: 02/26/2022]
