I think I'm in this category.... I seem to have receded into a Mike Oldfield / TD / Froese / Vangelis vortex of late, re-appearing for occasional doses of Camel or Floyd. I'm getting quite concerned as I've been stuck here for a little while now.

That's a vortex I'd happily be in. I so want to make a Zardoz reference... I'm at the nostalgia point of reliving childhood memories by turning on my streaming services and just wanting to watch TV shows or movies that I enjoyed as a child commonly (sci-fi stuff). I have to force myself out of it. At sometimes my poor brain has difficulty with new-to-me things, be it music, TV shows, films or concepts.
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

Jon & Vangelis - Short Stories



I'm pleased our Top 3 are identical, and I didn't see yours before posting.

Isn't Short Stories 1979??


I Hear You Now was released as a single in December 1979 and the album came out in January 1980. I think its an okay album (hence the B tier rating), they virtually chucked it out there with very little recording time and it shows. Their next album The Friends Of Mr Cairo was much better and I have argued that the track Horizon from their third album Private Collection is very akin to a post rock style that evolved much later in the decade. Its a pity that they stopped until later putting out that not very good 90's album which rounded off everything.
