LAST FLIGHT

"Flight" is TAÏ PHONG's 3rd album from 1977 and was aply titled as it was the last album recorded by this original band. Although I suppose you would say that this album is definitely more accessible than their first two brilliant albums, "Last Flight" also shines in its own light. Gone is the obvious "YES" and "PINK FLOYD" allusions, but is replaced with more of a Canterbury feel (aka CARAVAN) and AOR Prog (aka 10CC). TAÏ PHONG were Jean- Jacques Goldman (vocals & guitars), Khanh (vocals & guitars), Michael Jones (bass, vocals), Pascal Wuthrich (keyboards) and Stephan Caussarieu (drums). It is really sad that these guys did not really become as big as was their music and all the TAÏ PHONG albums are fantatsic and unique in color and texture. 2 longer songs on this album are very recognizeable as "Tai Phong" "Last Flight" and "Farewell Gig In Amsterdam" which are given lots of room to be explored and carry a very classic progressive feel to them. Overall "Last Flight" is a fun album to listen to and essential if you are a fan of TAÏ PHONG.
