THE KINDNESS OF STRANGERS

I guess the fact that I must by now have every SPOCK'S BEARD Album reviewed on my site is a testimonial to my apparent love for this band. "The Kindness Of Strangers" contains all of the SPOCK'isms as you would imagine... wild frenzied musical moments, quiet acoustic interludes and wonderful vocals and harmonies all wrapped up in some highly memorable melodies. Musicianship is exceptional as always and I am still amazed at the level of energy these guys put into their music. This album is housed by loads of mellotron which gives an even warmer feel to their classic sound... even a string quartet on the opening number. This is essential progressive rock and as the saying goes "The Radiant Is Still Here"
