ARCHIVA 1

A bunch of unreleased material from the last three albums... part one. The rating Collectors/fans only really applies here - the songs are very unequal in quality and this album sure isn't essential.

There are very few highlights on this album - the opener "Heart Of Gold" is a nice pop/rock song, "We Fall Apart" is a good mid-paced song, "I Can't Wait A Lifetime" is another fine song. The only remarkable track is the sublimissime acoustic instrumental "Ginger" with Steve Howe on the guitar.

Rating: 67/100
