WONDERWORLD

Of the Heep albums I bought back in the 80's, this is the only one I still play now and then. It has a truly meditative and spiritual quality that I enjoy. By comparison, Demons and Wizards and Magician's Birthday, though brilliant, have a tendency to be overblown and lacking in emotional depth. The opening and closing tracks capture the special feellings we have when lost in our nightly dreamworlds. The Easy Road is a lovely soft composition, very romantic with beautiful orchestral touches. The Heep could really create some jewels in the easy-listening genre. Granted, there are some weak moments...Something or Nothing is fairly trivial, but not terrible. The album is still overall worth having in your collection.
