Ground & Sky, review by Eric Porter:
Another triumph! After the band was dropped by Arista, these appear to be demo tapes for a third release. Again, the band offers up some tasty prog, chock full of great instrumentals along with some vocal tracks. "Eye of the Storm" is a Kit Watkins tune that Camel also recorded during his tenure with that band (on I Can See Your House From Here). Both versions are very similiar. "The Falcon" is a great heavy ominous piece that features an evil sounding slide guitar solo from Stanley Whitaker, who also takes on vocal duties and does an admirable job. Some other favorites here are "While Crome Yellow Light Shine" with its bright horn sounds and driving rhythm; this one also features some stinging work from Whitaker. The fusion feel of "Run into the Ground" and the jazzy "Footwork" make this a well rounded release. Also, the drumming of Coco Roussel is outstanding. He is not just a drummer, but a fine percussionist. This CD contains the final recordings of the band, and shows that they were still full of creativity.Tracks:
1. Eye of the Storm (3:58)
2. The Falcon (6:09)
3. At the Edge of This Thought (5:16)
4. While Chrome Yellow Shine (6:10)
5. Who's In Charge Here? (5:39)
6. Shadow Shaping (4:25)
7. Run Into the Ground (5:02)
8. Footwork (4:19)
9. Labyrinth (7:29)
10. Such A Warm Breeze (5:08)
Line-up:
- Kit Watkins / keyboards and flute
- Frank Wyatt / keyboards, sax, flute
- Stanley Whitaker / guitar, vocals
- Rick Kennell / bass
- Coco Roussel / drums, percussion
