But I went to the store to buy it and I found all their other earlier albums, and I was flabbergasted. I thought they were a new band! The second album I bought was Sons and Fascination, never having heard a single song off of it. I remember listening to the opening of 'In Trance As Mission' and I thought - what a weird strange song. It was, of course nothing like OUAT. It shattered my expectations. But I couldn't stop listening to it. And each time I heard the album, I got to like it more and more. It is a treasure. One of the best instrumentals ever created was 'Theme For Great Cities', the opener on Sister Feelings Call. 'This Earth That You Walk Upon' is such a superb track, so atmospheric. Back when you couldn't really understand what the heck Jim was singing about, but it had gravity. One of my favorite albums of all times.Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611927964807889744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2543415315928799140.post-41389701215686282582015-04-13T08:17:18.689+01:002015-04-13T08:17:18.689+01:00I have come to appreciate their early work over th...I have come to appreciate their early work over the past number of years as I grew up listening to the stadium rock. Still managing to sell out large arenas and write the odd good tune.Iano1https://www.blogger.com/profile/02157144869209136854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2543415315928799140.post-48521714715659952962015-04-11T21:45:00.089+01:002015-04-11T21:45:00.089+01:00Brilliant album(s) - the best of SM pre-NGDBrilliant album(s) - the best of SM pre-NGDximeremixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14111737219569347508noreply@blogger.com
