FOXTROT

This is one of the best records of progressive rock by one of the best progressive bands ever to exist! With loads of grandeur with the sweeping mellotron-textures by Tony Banks, amazing solos by the genius Steve Hackett, the exciting dynamics of Collins and Rutherford this album never seizes to amaze me. Watcher of the Skies was the first track I heard from the record and it blew me away! Their are so many dynamics and it has a wonderful build-up (it's also a real showoff in musicianship). Time Table has a nice and calm atmosphere to help relax after the pounding of Watcher... and give you a break before the next grand masterpiece: Get 'Em out by Friday! The storyline of the song is funny yet sad and the music is just fantastic. Going from the fast beats and themes of the intro to the soothing melodies later in the song. Can-Utilty and the Coastliners has the same qualities as Get 'Em... and has fantastic ending! Horizons is a very beautiful guitar-instrumental and again shows off Hackett's amazing feel for the instrument. Everything has been said about Supper's ready and I agree with everyone. This is music that deserves to be preserved as long as there is a human race!

Foxtrot is not just Prog. rock, it is music that speaks to your heart and your mind. This is an album that will always have an specially important place in my collection along with Selling England by the Pound and The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway.
