Raven has a couple of great tracks on it. Mystery & Imagination is a gem from start to finish.

Steven Wilson's The Raven is a masterpc in his solo catalog. Each song having it's own story, very dark...but the music he created is powerful.
I don't get the APP album much, Poe has been done many times and I'm not a big fan of having all those different musicians and vocalist and all of Ambrosia playing on the album. That kind of stuff was very interesting back in the mid 70's, but I don't think it has held up well today.

^ One of the best Stranglers lps without doubt
The 1987 remix of 'Tales of Mystery & Imagination' is great; some extra guitar solos, the inclusion of the original Orson Wells spoken parts and just a clearer, cleaner sound (particularly the drums).. Fall of the house of Usher is particularly spellbinding.. Its the only APP lp that i can listen to all the way through; there is always at least one soggy ballad on all the others. SW.. i just dont know.. i bought the lp and loved it at first and the live show was amazing but it.. i dont know.. just doesnt quite hit the spot now.. though i must admit the title track, particularly when listened to accompanied by the animated film does give me goose bumps..
