Yep. I have well and truly fallen for this album. Robert Wyatt-like vocals and some delicious Dave Sinclairian organ runs. What's not to like?LOL
May not score high on the originalometer but damn it's good!
The Winstons along with Magic Bus (UK) and another Italiano act Homunculus Res seem to be the modern purveyors of Canterbury, and I for one am revelling in the sounds from yesteryear.

I really enjoy that album, Sam. Sure it's too long and seems to run out of steam towards the end of the second disc, but damn the melodies and harmonies are constantly strong throughout. In many ways it's more commercial and straight-forward than their previous discs, but there are a lot of stand-out spots. I honestly believe at that exact moment Spock's had the perfectly opportunity to get some FM radio play with several potential singles off that album, but Neal was out the door as soon as it was released.

It's not hard to see his `religious awakening' on that album either, the whole thing is a Christ-metaphor and is loaded with Christian lyrics, just more obviously than the previous albums!

^ I've been listening to it on background, it's very enjoyable this way. I don't think I could sit through the whole album. It still seems much shorter than the self-titled album, despite being almost 40 minutes longer Tongue

Yep, perfect background listen because of the shorter melodic tunes, but then it drops in some top-notch prog-outs! Heh, there's a track just near the end of the first disc called `Solitary Soul' where Neal's singing in this falsetto and this orchestra rises up behind him near the end, and I swear it's cheesy as hell but it makes me break down like a little girl! I find the lyrics very touching and genuine, very comforting and embracing.

Yeah, that self-titled album is great at the start and the end, but it comes to a complete halt in the very middle. Definitely the curse of the `Spock's Beard Filler' strikes again!

A bit like the Riverside album I played next, although it has less prog-outs Tongue I had to see which track was that, it's really great Thumbs Up

Curiously I bought that one and The Incident on the same purchase, more filler than anything else LOL

^^ that keyboard player, Ryo Okunomo is the album for me. His playing on Snow rivals that of Michael Pinella's for Symphony X's V:Mythology. Perfect sounds. :)

Today's line up of fun for the tail end of a long weekend for me.

APP-- Ammonia Avenue. ( so underrated. Some of the best songs APP ever did exist on this disc. )
Prince-- Batman (motion picture soundtrack. 1989)
Eden House-- Bad Men
Serj Tankian-- Elect the dead ( live with the Berlin philharmonic orchestra.)
APP-- Eve ( Lucifer is so badass! The beginning even has a morse code that spells E.V.E. ;)
Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

I remember that album being simply a good collection of pop tunes, I used to play it quite a lot when I first got it.

Now the real question is - what do you think of the `controversial' `Stereotomy'?! I used to find that one a real challenge, but I think near the end I was quite enjoying it (but I don't recall listening to it in a decade now or more?).

Michael, to be truly honest, I find not one APP album a challenging listen.
Stereotomy is a fine album but probably my least favourite of the lot. APP's diversity is very good to me. I like the switch between something like I-Robot, then firing on say, Eve. I really do have an appreciation. For all 10 studio albums and all their live albums are f**king gold!! APP are most likely to go down as one of the best Prog rock groups of all time for me. Creating crossover Prog...who's better?
