I'm an Adrian Gurvitz fan (not so much his later stuff), so I have bothGE's albums - the strength is in Gurvitz's contribution to the songsand he and his brother Paul's playing. Graeme's drumming is strong andnot very Moody-ish.
And yes, there's tron on the Blue Jays album.

Hi again-

   Oh, yeah, "Songwrighter" , "The Promise", Lodge's"Natural Avenue" were all pretty bad.  Didn't hear any of Ray Thomas'or Graeme Edge's stuff.

   I liked the cover art on "The Promise", using colorsproduced from polarized light through crystals to produce astained-glass look.

Not that ANY of them were great, but actually, andsurprisingly, IMHO, Ray's is the best of the lot.  Natural Avenue got 1listen shortly after its release before being put back into its slipcover where it's remained since then.  Is there anyone on the list whoactually has a copy of Edge's stuff (provided they didn't burn it upon1st listening)?

 

BTW, I swear that there is Mellotron on "Who Are YouNow" from Blue Jays.
