MAGIC IS A CHILD

Like some prog groups of the time, Nektar was going thru some personnel changes & also giving up the epic length tracks for shorter more concise songs. The overall sound reminds me of what Le Orme & PFM were putting out, but the difference, & I know I keep repeating this about Nektar, but the songwriting is never really better than average. And by this point, they really sound more pop prog than the work that had preceded this album. So from a prog point of view, by this time, the group has lost most of its appeal to the prog fans. Not bad, but, really you have to be a big fan to need this in your collection.
