What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



A downfall was due after Six Wives, Centre Of The Earth, and King Arthur. Another concept album here,
something about a futuristic look at music. I never was real good at grasping concept albums, The Wall
excluded, I got that one. The copy I have of this is a promo copy. Big label on the cover that says
"banded for radio airplay", meaning the five part Music Reincarnate has a track separation. Assuming the
"for sale" copies had this as one continuous track. Except for part 5 which is on side 2 of the vinyl.
Only 2 other tracks besides that. Since there was separation I graded each of those alone. The only love
track is The Prisoner, far outweighs the competition. With 3 don't likes on a 7 track album, that barely
gives it a passing grade. The album could only reach #67 here, but the UK was on board at #9. Looking
back, this album may have been the root of my decline as a fan. Probably my bad.

I'd be interested in hearing what our resident Wakeman/Yes expert thinks of this album.
