Blue Review

There aren't enough superlatives to describe this album. I have both Crimson and Blue, and Blue...and if pressed I must say I prefer Blue because of its more raw, high energy feel. The walls of sound that come at you from Phil's guitar and the band are simply amazing. Let it wash over you at high volume...you'll be transported back to the 60's and 70's when music was experimental and honest. The cover of Baby Blue alone is worth the price of the CD - it is quite similar to the original complete with that thick guitar sound, and yet as another reviewer put it, this version is an improvement on the original with a wonderful jam at the end. The mix is superb across the entire album and the arrangements spot on. You'll be hard put to find music of this quality anywhere nowadays..
