SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND

It would be a prog crime to give this music less than 5 stars, and I won't, I unbelievably just heard this music for the first time last week, first on vinyl, then the down load. what struck me was how contemporary it sounds, 1971 ? , way ahead of it's time in style and craftsmanship. all the rough edges are gone , smoothed out, All the Phil Collins sung albums late,r really fall right into place, in sound at least. The melodies, and up beat mood of Lamb are breathtaking. particularly in contrast to the story itself. I recently have been into some of pat metheny's latest music,and some of the world music styles used in lamb are similar in his music, just astounds me that lamb is from 1971, it sounds nothing like the year. 5 big stars.
