I love those albums too, personally I prefer Jetlag to Chocolate but not many fans do. I completely agree with you, Sagi! `Chocolate Kings' is decent, but `Jetlag' frequently thrills me. I've read quite a lot over the years negative remarks about it that seem to suggest the band heading in a jazz/fusion direction was `uninspired, lazy, directionless' etc, but I've never found that at all. Besides, loking back, it's experimenting with different styles and sounds that makes the discography of these bands so fascinating and rewarding! `Kings' is very special to my friend Tom Ozric, so I've kind of felt a little bad over the years that I've never been able to love it quite as much as he does! All good, Tom, I definitely DO like it though!

At the first listen I liked "Jetlag" more than "Chocolate King": maybe because it's very different from the "classic" PFM (there's a clear Gentle Giant inspiration in it) and because the goat sings less (although it did not ruin the music to me, contrarily to Pavlov's Dog's vocals)

You can't go wrong with `Borboletta' and `Welcome' from the same period, this run of very ambient and spiritual albums, and there's even a very cheap 5 disc box set (I got it for under $16 Australian) that includes all those albums together. The box skimps on the packaging (each disc is housed in a flimsy `LP sleeve recreation'), but the discs are all the remastered versions, some with bonus tracks.

I will put this box set on the CD wishlist (curiously I found it for 16€ ) but I still have the Yes 12CD box set and Rush's Sectors on the top of the list.

Strawbs---Choice selection
