Starting to turn into Rainbow on Mogadon.

Keytar solo. I hope anyway.

Did they have keytars in 1976?

Manfred's got one of those wobbly knobs and he's going to use it.

I've definitely heard that tinky bit before?

Tubular bells?

Starbird" takes its theme from Igor Stravinsky's ballet The Firebird (1910)

The vocals don't work with this prog overload. dontpanic

The slightly growly, bluesy vocals and the cold, muddled prog musicianship and production is a really jarring combo.

Gone a bit Gong.

You're getting Stravinsky confused with

OMG ELP!

Sorry where was I? Gregorian chant?

by Nightjar Fri Feb 25, 2022 7:35 pm

At least Gong would've done this with a degree of relaxedly stoned finesse.

It's not even a Fender Rhodes.

The electric piano just sounds a bit cheap.

All the levels are off.
