THE SNOW GOOSE

The Snow Goose is a pleasant and highly melodic album that already sounded a little dated at the time its release in 1975 (compare it to the futuristic adventures of The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, Relayer, Red, Wish You Were Here etc that were also released around the same time).

Shades of the then hugely popular Pink Floyd, moderately popular Genesis, and root influences of the semi-underground Canterbury scene and Hank Marvin all gel well in this good-natured, but slightly bland and inessential conceptual offering.

Trotting out familiar Progressive cliches in an endearing manner is hardly indicative of a masterpiece of Progressive music in my opinion.
