| King Crimson The Collectable King Crimson: Volume One |
| Spread over two discs, these concerts from the metal era in King Crimson's history are truly some of their best. Taking material from Larks Tongue's in Aspic, Starless and Bible Black, Red, and a few stray older tracks here and there, the Collectable King Crimson is a very accurate summary of the time period the band was in. Two highlights are both of the live versions of Starless. The mellotron was taken out and had been replaced by a violin (as far as I can tell). This is a highly recommended album for experienced KC fans. |

| This album is not a very good follow up to the much, much better Discipline. Most of the songs are decent if not good but "Two Hands" and "Heartbeat" are inexcusably bad love songs. "Neal and Jack and Me", "Sartori in Tangier", "Neurotica", "The Howler" and "Requiem" are the best songs here. |

| As a huge Talking Heads fan I cannot judge this record without bias. By looking at track four I can already tell that some great early songs are missing as are some later ones. But it does not matter because this record was not created for my listening in the first place. For the casual fan it is all they need (not quite, Sand in the Vaseline is a better introduction). It contains all of their hits throughout the seventies and eighties and that along with spare album cuts here and there is all the casual listener with little further interest in the band really needs. |
| Talking Heads Little Creatures |
| The Alan Parsons Project I Robot |
| The Alan Parsons Project Tales of Mystery and Imagination |
| The Alan Parsons Project Eye in the Sky |
Eye in the Sky is a true comeback for one of the seventies best progressive groups albeit with an added pop sensibility. The album follows a slump in the quality of the band's output. Their albums Pyramid, Eve, and Turn of a Friendly Card were not up to par with their first two albums.
This album brought lyrical maturity, the concept of theme, and experimental instrumentation to the masses. The first side of the album is the perfect hybrid of the above themes and radio friendliness into an enjoyable succession of accessible songs. The second half deviates from the initially presented formula to mixed results. Songs such as Old and Wise sound would sound perfectly at home on Pyramid while You're Gonna Get Your Fingers Burned is as boring as it is nagging.
The album is inconsistent and patchy but its better points are as good as anything the Project has ever done. It is the perfect starting album for the new fan. |
