I think the band's latest Mirror To The Sky is a welcome partial return to form especially after the lacklustre previous 2 releases. As for Talk i will need to revisit after this compelling review. Always felt it was a little disjointed and, in parts, a little mundane. Still time to have a possible rethink.
I enjoy Talk a lot more than Close to the Edge. Yeah, go ahead and freak out but I find Close to the Edge has some good parts here and there,, but ultimately it bores me silly. And I have listened to CTTE many times over the years. I doubt I'll ever listen to any of it straight through again. Really the only parts I like anymore are the Get up/ Get Down, and the first 2 minutes of And You And I
Hi Hans - great analysis as always, keep up the good work, Chris
Id like the live stuff to add it to my ITunes library but i wouldn't pay more than a tenner for this set.
I was struck by the "wall of sound" aspect.
