"It sounds like a tenplate for 'Snowflakes are Dancing' to me, much more raw & experimental, earlier, but unlike Snowflakes some of this gets lost in Father Time's Translations." Reply

"Pentangle has always combined jazz and folk quite successfully. This is a solid album, but their sound and compositions have not evolved too much, The last track is superb, but it is still done better on their earlier albums." Reply

"There are many songs on this album, but none rise from the background. This album really lacks the bangers and the arrangements and usage of strings do not help. A nice, harmless and cute." Reply

"Consistently good for sure. I think it does have a killer track, though. "I Fall Apart" is one of the most intense ballads of all time." Reply

"Like a man of mountain recounting tales of his life. This album has a sense of worth and a sense of purpose. Also the debut of the act in question so it obviously what they wanted to say first. While tracks like 'Truck Stop Girl' and 'Brides for Jesus' are good little ditties for the warm at hear..." [+] Reply
"Another fine Best Of. Their earlier albums aren'ttrong, and not always easy to find. Much better than the Greatest Hits that came out later...this one has most of the Guess Who you'll ever need. And Burton Cummings has a GREAT rock & roll voice!" Reply

"This is one powerful soul album. The cover of california dreaming is breathtaking in its emotion and power. A really really good gritty soul record." Reply
