I'm an Adrian Gurvitz fan (not so much his later stuff), so I have both GE's albums - the strength is in Gurvitz's contribution to the songs and he and his brother Paul's playing. Graeme's drumming is strong and not 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 colors produced from polarized light through crystals to produce a stained-glass look.

Not that ANY of them were great, but actually, and surprisingly, IMHO, Ray's is the best of the lot. Natural Avenue got 1 listen shortly after its release before being put back into its slip cover where it's remained since then. Is there anyone on the list who actually has a copy of Edge's stuff (provided they didn't burn it upon 1st listening)?
BTW, I swear that there is Mellotron on "Who Are You Now" from Blue Jays.
