 Topic: 'Even in the Quietest Moments' - Supertramp
Posted: February 15 2018 at 16:15 |
|
Which song of this cerene albums which from the album cover might be about that, serenity and oddness. Displacement in society and nature. What does a grand piano on a snowy mountain even mean.
If 'Crisis? What Crisis' sybolises pollution and ignorance; 'Even in the Quietest Moments' is about serenity and displacement.

Fool's Overture.
Babaji is a close second.

Great album--all songs were great in concert--but "Downstream" has this transcendent beauty that haunts me like few other songs--prog or otherwise. Plus, I can never get enough of those major seventh chords (as S-tramp used a lot of).

Isn’t this the 17th poll on this album ??
Anyway, it’s always a tough choice between the absolutely beautiful Downstream, and the epic Fool’s Overture, and I can’t choose. I just can’t.

Fools Overture.
The title track and Give a little bit are also excellent tunes.
Overall though this album is not a patch on COTC or BIA.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Give a Little Bit is a timeless classic and which never lets one down. I envision cartoon bears when i hear it. The song is magical.

Neat little song, very ‘light’ and catchy. But then so is It’s Raining Again. My personal favourite is their debut album. Every single track is special, even the Surely parts.
