I haven't seen them discussed here for a while. I was introduced to them by Snow Dog, they're a very good band, although I admit I've not listened to them much lately. They have a good ear for melody but can be a bit cheesy at times.
"The Robbery of Murder" is a good album, as is "Mimi's Magic Moment", "Not Everybody's Gold" is possibly their best, but I've not heard the others much.

I was given their first album to review back in the mid-90s, and gave it a pretty favorable review. The band was appreciative and sent me a copy of their next album, "The Robbery of Murder", which definitely took things up a few notches. It's a concept album about a guy whose loved one is killed by a drunk driver and he vows revenge or something like that. Pretty dramatic and gripping, if a little heavy-handed. But a good band, one that would certainly appeal to fans of Kansas, whom they remind me of most. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

| Now I've got the urge to listen to them again so I'm playing "Not Everybody's Gold" on Spotify (sadly it's the only one they have). |

| I guess they don't have too many fans here. As I said, it was Snow Dog who got me into them and he's not around these days. |

| I haven't heard the last couple as I wasn't blown away by Be or Mimi's Magic Moment so kind of lost interest in them but some of their mid-period albums are great. Not Everybody's Gold is easily my favourite. |

Not Everybody's Gold is what I am listening to now due to this thread as it has been a while, forgot how much I liked this Besides getting Mimi's Magic Moment, which other album would be your next choice, Be? The Robbery of Murder? or Pennies in the Karma Jar? -------------

^ Used to live in an area where Crack the Sky played and stayed quite a bit. 1rst album, Animal Notes, and Safety in Numbers I still listen to from time to time .
Just like all music each of us like, its in the ear of the beholder. Funny you mention "is if you could get hold of", Oddly enough I was set to get some of these titles a few years ago and it seemed they were yanked off the market. Now I see the 3 I mentioned available on iTunes and CDs on other on line avenues. Not sure what happened, but guess I better strike while the iron is hot!

| They are a "Normal" Prog Rock band IMO. Their music is "Good" but NOT "Great". I think they haven't potential to make a discuss in PA forum. IMO their last album " The Unseen Cord " is their best. |
