It worked for me!! In fact I took off in 1977 and haven't quite landed yet. Surely that must qualify for some kind of record? And to be quite honest the music on my site is an attempt (albeit a poor man's one) to capture some of that magic that I first heard so many moons ago. Don't think I will ever forget it unless dementia sets in and I can't remember how to switch on a CD player. Floyd opened a door somewhere in the labyrinth of my brain and I went through. Just can't seem to find 'the passage back to the place I was before' The Eagle Has Not Landed - all of which reminds me of a really expansive piece of music called 'The Eagle Will Rise Again' by the Alan Parsons Project, not surprisingly from the same era. Vocals by Colin Bluntstone I think - superb.......it combines 2 concepts I am fascinated by - Egyptian mythology and progressive rock. What more can a man ask for - except maybe Cleopatra. http://youtu.be/YE1PmD9uBOU
Forget the video on this one - just listen (Incidentally my late father's favourite piece in my collection at the time bar Jethro Tull's 'Heavy Horses' which he played more than me! http://youtu.be/ohE76gJx0xI
