The Cranes - Wings of Joy

Classic. I played in a band that did several BP covers.
I actually had to get someone to translate the spoken introduction to "The Change Song" since the English there is absolutely incomprehensible to the American ear. To us, it sounded something like "...and for me sister who's in another way of life, finicky Ampegs an' all that..." (actually, "...and for my sister, who's in Holloway for life, for nicking handbags and all that...")
...and now playing
Gong ¨The Flying Teapot¨
Camel ¨Moonmadness¨
Genesis ¨The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway¨
Jethro Tull ¨This Was¨
Harmonium ¨L´Heptade¨ (A hauntingly beatiful, non-ciché prog album)
I don´t know why, but all of them in vinyl. Maybe as a regression to my teens. I my case, with prog, vinyl is the way to go...
Speaking of vinyl, I purchased Thomas Dolby´s ¨The Flat Earth¨ a couple of weeks ago, and I can´t believe how good it sounds: Seldom I´ve heard bass like that in my room -deep, fast, round of all roundness, and very coherent- .... please, check out if possible!
The music: strange, energetic and eclectic, and thankfully avoiding all those bloody and ordinary eighties clichés. I don´t know how to put it in words, but in some aspects that record is very eighties -in the good sense: modernistic, upbeat, cinematic-; but, in some other aspects, that could be a record released just yesterday, because it avoids all the f***** early MTV parafernalia of bad tempered Synclaviers, emulators and fairlights.
Don´t misunderstand me: there´s is a lot of synclavier, emu and CMI in that album, but they´re, well... perfectly tempered, never misused.
Highly recommended.

Listening for a couple of weeks after I picked it up the day it came out.
Man can she sing
Great Americana for those who love a standup bass and pedal steel
Standout tracks include "The Needle Has Landed" and "Lion's Jaws
