THE SNOW GOOSE

In comparison to first two albums, this one brouhgt two essentially new moments - 1. it was inspired by touching Paul Gallico story and 2. the whole album is instrumental. Consequently, compositions written intended primarily to express the atmosphere of the story and less to satisfy some prog standards; the only pure prog flash is present in 'Rhayader Goes To Town'. The musicianship and orchestral arrangements are exquisite, production superb. However, from my prog point of view I'm rating this album with three stars,but as the music of the mood it is marvellous. It also showed band's wide interest and their ability to express it musically in a superior manner and that is certainly the attribute only of those which belong to the greatest.
