ANDROMEDA GIRL

We'll, what shall I say. I bought the album back in 81. It was not a great success in those days. Contrary to its predecessor 'Reality fills Fantasy' which was a come-back of the band. Nevertheless I bought it and was pleasantly surprised by the opening number 'Andromeda Girl' of 12 minutes real sympho prog. But the other 30 minutes is pop-music only with sympho undertones. Not unpleasant but certainly not sparkling. Too bad. One can encounter influences from studio bosses. Sell, sell, sell as long as this band is hot.

If you come across this album, buy it if it's low priced. If not, skip it. Certainly don't download it. Singer Jerney Kaagman is president of 'Brein' which is a Dutch organization fighting illegal practices on music rights.

Stars, mmm.. yes, 'Not-bad, but non-essential'. So three stars, but actaully 2.5
