circumstantial tree Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) to me, it's an 80s album. The abandonment of side long pieces and a more streamlined approach says to me they were looking towards the future - which was the 80s at that point in time. edit: had they included the sir Gawain and the Green Knight tune, instead of natural science, then it would probably have been more 70s.

I don't understand. No side-long pieces but it had the very prog-ish "Jacob's Ladder" and the multi-movement "Natural Science" opus. Together these songs comprise nearly 1/2 of the album's run length. "Which what the 80s was at that point in time" -- ? What was the '80s on Jan 1, 1980?

Rutlefan Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I think we know this: 1) It was released Jan 1, 1980. 2) Stylistically, some think it belongs to what is stereotypically considered '80s music and some think it belongs to what is stereotypically considered '70s music, and some think it is a transition album belonging to both the '70s and '80s, or neither. 3) Work in the film industry affords a lot of time to post on internet fan forums. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ged Lent's sis Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I think we know this: 1) It was released Jan 1, 1980. 2) Stylistically, some think it belongs to what is stereotypically considered '80s music and some think it belongs to what is stereotypically considered '70s music, and some think it is a transition album belonging to both the '70s and '80s, or neither. 3) Work in the film industry affords a lot of time to post on internet fan forums. That's pretty good, but I would summarize it thus:One forum member posts a topic saying, "Hey everybody, let's have fun!" to which one member replied, "No fun! The facts make it thus." to which someone replied, "Well, not really, because I'm still having fun!" to which that member replied, "Well, yeah, I can see that, but NO." to which others replied, "That still doesn't stop the fun!" to which the one member responded, "How often do I have to repeat myself: Lemme go look what I said... oh yeah, 'NO FUN!'" Others called the whole thing silly but stuck around anyway, because they think it is fun, apparently. Fin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
