What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Had no idea these guys were still around. An album in 2011. Netherlands prog rock band who initially disbands in
1982 after a nine album run. Reunited in 2000 and are still going. Of course an 18 year break may not qualify as
the same band. This is the bands seventh album and it's not that bad. Sort of a Yes sound in parts. Not as heavy on
the keyboards. The waves never reached these shores but I guess they were pretty big there. Never a consistent
lineup with founding member Ton Scherpenzeel the only one appearing on all albums. Highlight for the band was
touring with Queen in the mid 70's. Strange thing on this album. It includes a lyrics sheet which has lyrics for
all songs. Had to do a replay of the song Lost Blue Of Chartres, as their were no lyrics sung. Could not figure out
where to insert them. Needless to say, I did not like that track.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Lost Blue Of Chartres

Best Track - Periscope Life

Sweet Marjorie she's talking to me
I only say she's right
Knowing her that's the only way not to be here all night

Sweet Marjorie don't talk to me
Your eyes outshine the stars
Don't break the spell by saing love is just a farce

She tells me I don't understand her point of view
And I admit I really think so too
My arguments don't ever seem to reach her
'No politics now, please'- but here we go again

She says now this is where we disagree
You've got to open up your eyes and see
To live a periscope life like that
I'll tell you where I'm at
You maybe better off dead

She's so extreme, she won't let me dream
Won't let me love and caress
I'm always told to look around and conclude this world's a mess

Sweet Marjorie, she's dining with me
I say let's order some food
Although the system's wrong- the menu's looking good

I know the whole world fights and kills and hates
But lady must that always spoil our dates
I can't imagine that the world would end
If I would eat my steak now that it's warm
