    Patrick Moraz - Story Of i
    (1975, Atlantic) ARUN in the deadwax; mastered by Arun Chakraverty



    progressive rock from the Yes keyboard player. All the Yes band members did solo albums in 1975, and this is a tasty one. Moraz mixes latin and rock rhythms together with his keyboard work. The album concept is around a mysterious tower in a jungle that lures people to enter. According to wikipedia, the idea came while Jon Anderson and Moraz were on tour with Yes - they saw an old massive tower. They started to think what was inside the tower and invented many theories.

    Fleetwood Mac - Penguin
    (1973, Reprise) Canadian pressing



    The first album after Danny Kirwan left, and in the Bob Welch period. The best tracks here for me are, as always, from Christine McVie.

    The first track is a favorite of mine. "Remember Me" features a tingling slide riff by the briefly employed Bob Weston. Too bad he was sleeping with Mick Fleetwood's wife; I wanted to hear more from him with this band.

    I very much like all the FM output up to the Buckingham-Nicks era, so this "middle period" work is fine with me. Middle as in after Peter Green and before the hitmaking group. After that, Time with Dave Mason and Bekka Bramlet floats my boat. Any band that had Peter Green, Danny Kirwan and Dave Mason pass through it goes straight to the to top with me. The Kiln House band of Fleetwood, McVie, McVie, Kirwan & Spencer walked on water too. I can't contemplate the Peter Green era without tears of joy.

    Mott The Hoople - Wildlife
    (1971, Atlantic)



    most tracks recorded at Island studios London Nov/Dec 1970. The band name was picked out by producer Guy Stevens - after a 1966 novel by Willard Manus about an eccentric who works in a circus freak show. I spotted this record at the local HPB this afternoon, another hole in the MTH collection filled.

    Pentangle - Cruel Sister
    (1970, Reprise) Canadian pressing



    British folk rock, wonderful versions of traditional songs here. Wonderful vocals from Jacqui McShee. The stunning album production is noted in a wikipedia article as an "uncluttered" sound with each instrument clearly placed in the mix and, despite its use of a range of instruments, including electric guitars, it maintains a clarity and simplicity, appropriate for the material.

    ...just catching up with this post on the Penguin LP. I agree, the first track from Christine McVie - "Remember Me" is a great listen. I didn't know that backstory on Weston, how could they keep track of who was sleeping with who in those days? :P ...so that explains his short FM tenure...
