2 comments so far (post your own)One of the great unsung Prog bands out of Britain in the mid to late 70's, very critically acclaimed, led by the brilliant virtuoso guitarist and musician Bill Nelson, should be mentioned when talking progressive rock. They had a string of excellent albums before disbanding around 1980. Starting with "Axe Victim", then "Futurama", followed up with "Sunburst Finish", "Modern Music", "Drastic Plastic", and "Live In the Air Age".. They headlined frequently in Europe, and when they toured America, they were a strong support band. I believe they opened for Blue Oyster Cult on a tour in the late 70's. They had a lot of great Prog/Art Rock type songs like "Jets at Dawn", "Axe Victim", "Maid in Heaven", "Jet Silver and the Dolls of Venus", "Sleep That Burns", "Blazing Apostles", "Love is Swift Arrows", "No Trains To Heaven", "Speed Of the Wind", and "Ships In the Night". I have been a fan of their first 3 albums since the late 70's, and also the Live album.. Modern Music gets high marks among fans as well. Posted by Will N. on Saturday, 03/7/2020 @ 21:27pm |
Not one of the most well known bands out there, but "Ships in the night" is a wonderful song. Posted by StunningStocktaker on Tuesday, 09/7/2021 @ 11:02am |
