Rated 6/10
I was aware of quite a few songs from this record from the radio and other media over the years, but had never payed it much attention, the mixing is to DIE for and the arrangements are gorgeous. The second half has a significant fall off in quality. But still a great listen overall, will be coming back to certain tracks over the whole album.
1) Moondance
2) Everyone
3) Caravan
Least Favourite: Brand New Day
Rated 4/10
The old school hiphop flows and delivery will always give me a good giggle, the delivery is certainly cringeworthy at times. Rap rock was in its infancy here, and was definately improved on in its later iterations. First half of the album SIGNIFICANTLY stronger than the second.
1) Walk This Way
2) Is It Live
3) Proud to Be Black
Least Favourite: Dumb Girl
Rated 4/10
Honestly, too much samba, not enough jazz, generally inoffensive background music, wouldn't actively listen again.
1) Samba De Uma Nota So
2) O Pato
3) E Luxo So
Least Favourite: Samba Triste
Rated 8/10
Sometimes let down by songs dragging on too long, but that's the nature of prog, some of my favourite pieces of music all time in here though, great to see where the genre "Started"
1) 21st Century Schizoid Man
2) I Talk To The Wind
3) The Court Of The Crimson King
Least Fave: Moonchild
