ELEMENTS: THE ISLAND ANTHOLOGY

This is a handy bargain including four Jade Warrior albums, which they did for the Island record label in the 1970's. I personally like more the earlier material of this band, but these ambient oriented and slightly symphonic new age suites are quite pleasant too. I have gotten an impression that many listeners who like these albums, do not so much appreciate the earier psychedelic rock recordings this group did. These four albums focus to more coherent oriental influenced symphonic themes, and are also done more controlled by the guitar player and flautsts duo. If you like for example Mike Oldfield and Vangelis, this record quartet would be my suggestion to you, based on my honest, rational, and argumented quess. Also it is a fair bargain for those who have these albums as vinyl, and wish to safekeep them for treasury fascination ruin these CDs instead in the car, walkman or office. Also as a definitive compillation, it sums up all of the albums of a one era neatly.
