CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG "deja vu" cd/vinyl 1970
their second of eight as CSN but first of three as a quartet with Young
country tinged, folk-rock and rock so i put it here
got the urge to play it after MH played the trio's debut album a week or so ago
their harmonies are up there with S+G, Eagles, Beach Boys and Gibb brothers IMO
an absolute masterpiece of an album

^An absolute classic.
I'm listening to Alan Parsons Project's Gaudi mainly because it popped into my head today, for no apparent reason - the first track at least. Some of the album sounds a tad dated, I have to say, but there are moments that are still eminently listenable and today, Eric Woolfson's voice is appealing more so than the other vocalists. Interesting, as he was a bit of a shrinking violet behind the mic. And that said, there is nothing to fault on the opener, with John Miles ...
As so often on these releases, the final track repeats motifs from the beginning of the album and I like the instrumental closer so we have bookends here! Ian Bairnson holding forth on guitar ... shucks, so many of these great musos are gone now ... all those I have mentioned by name!

KISS "dynasty" cd/vinyl 1979
a revisit
its incredible to believe but between their debut in 1974 and this album they released 14 albums,
including two double live albums a double compilation and four solo albums...
anyway
this one contains the big disco hits, yes KISS doing disco (i was made for loving you/sure know something)
also on here is a brilliant cover of Rolling Stones "2000 man" sung by Ace Frehley.
he gets three of the nine tracks here, probably due to the success of his solo album which outsold the other guys efforts
Peter get his usual solitary track, Gene and Paul get five between them (they must have hated that)
anyway, a very good album with no filler IMO
album scores 2.4 which means
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
as Ace died last week RIP, i play this as a tribute:

ROGER DALTREY "daltrey" vinyl 1973
pretty sure this would be a 'revisit' but could be mistaken...
his debut solo album
ten of the twelve tracks were written by his friend Leo Sayer (with Alan Tarney)
the remaining two tracks were composed by Tarney and Adam Faith
a fairly decent album of soft rock and obviously Sayer-esque tunes so it sounds nothing like The Who
album scores 2.1 from me which means
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
not the album version, but a great duet between Daltrey and Sayer:

CAPRYCON "dark earth" cd 2011
just found this is a pile of my cds this morning
must of been something i picked up in a "3 for $5" discount bin a few years ago
anyway, i couldnt remember exactly where or when i got this so i put it on in the car this morning
symphonic prog-metal is how i would describe it,
female vocals which border on operatic at times
found with a google search that they are Australian but no other information whatsoever, even Discogs draws a blank
must have picked it up for the cover art
album scores the lowest mark possible with 1.0 which means
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
only thing i could find:
"BTO....Bachman,Turner,Overweight
