1001 Albums Summary

Listened to half the album - good fun, felt very 80's and was a nice context for songs I had heard before but didn't have a great deal of setting for. Should return to and finish the album; I jumped off because of the lyrics (not content, just that there were lyrics

An album that makes you actually feel like you’re on a spaceship. Heaps of songs where I went ‘oh! I know this one! And it makes me feel… really good!’

I’d always had the misheard lyric ‘how many roads must a man walk down, before you CAN call him a man’ and by listening to this, it was corrected and gave me a better understanding of the song

Best album I’ve listened to all year (so far!)

I tried for 3 days to listen to this. I really gave it a red hot go, I wanted to love it but it’s not for me. I felt challenged by the music and uncomfortable in my brain while listening to it - not in a ‘wow prog rock changing the genre’ kind of way, just in a ‘how far through the album am I?’ kind of determination to see it through. I’m only here for the album cover.

An album that once listened to meant I segued into reggae for the rest of the day… almost like a gateway drug…

Best in headphones.

Big fan! Incredible African jazz from a pioneer of world music - do yourself a favour!
