Earthshine's One, 1983






A funky soul song serves as first course for this dinner platter: "one god, one people, one planet".  (Presumably the muslims weren't included, or even consulted, in that positive assessment of our future hopes.)  Then the album moves into more progressive territory with the great instrumental Cycles:




But the band isn't able to quite keep it up.  Jazzier, straightforward, wannabe-standard tracks follow, ordinary chord progressions, lame ideas... Nonetheless worth hearing as a whole.  This album is better than their follow up, incidentally, which is not worth seeking out.  See discogs here.

  2. The sample track sounds very promising. Too bad things falter after that. Still worth downloading for that if nothing else. Thanks for this and all the rest.
