ONCE UPON A TIME.....To The Power Of Three

 

3  To The Power Of Three  (Geffen,1988) - Progressive pop/rock


     While it's not ELP...it's not even Emerson, Lake & Powell sounding either. It sounds more in the neo prog. tradition. Very '80s sounding with that '80s production in the vein of later '80s Saga. This '3' LP is certainly not as bad as everyone says it is, but it's not great either. Let's put it this way. If someone were to give me the choice to listen to ELP's _Love Beach_, Emerson Lake & Powell or 3's _To The Power Of Three...I would pick the latter. The best track is the 3 parter _Desde La Vida_ which can be heard on this website. It's really the only thing that hints at prog.rock. The other tracks(no real highlights) are well written AOR rock pieces with very little hit potential. Throw this album in with most inoffensive material coming from the likes of the Alan Parson Project or '80s Camel. Simply put, this is well produced music but nothing too amazing. It's as good as '80s YES or GENESIS, but not quite as good as the first 3 ASIA albums.

ONCE UPON A TIME.....I'm Not Me

Слика
  MICK FLEETWOOD'S ZOO  I'm Not Me  (RCA,1983) - Rock        The story behind Mick Fleetwood’s 1983  I’m Not Me  is well known. It was his second “solo” album for RCA Records, but everyone, especially Fleetwood, knew it was a band effort. Fleetwood’s name was the draw, but The Zoo was a fully formed ensemble that had been playing together for a year. This occurred because Fleetwood wanted a real group and not an album put out by studio musicians who’d come by, do their parts, and ride off to other projects.        The principal members of the Zoo were Fleetwood on drums, guitarist/singers Billy Burnette and Steve Ross, and bassist/singer George Hawkins. (Hawkins had appeared on Fleetwood’s previous release,  The Visitor ). As Burnette, Hawkins, and Ross shared lead vocal duties and co-wrote many of the songs, the band’s structure was easily compared to that of Fleetwood Mac. In addition, the album was produced by Rich...

ONCE UPON A TIME.....Batteaux

  BATTEAUX  Batteaux  (Columbia,1973) - Folk,Rock,Funk         Batteaux  is a long treasured and notoriously under appreciated 70’s underground folk-funk classic. The only release by the Batteau brother duo is a perfect mix of balearic blue eyed soul and west coast country rock. Admirers old and new have been constantly pondering, why wasn’t this better known? The record had all the ingredients for commercial success. It was released on Columbia in ’73, features virtuoso guest players including Tom Scott, John Guerin, and Andy Newmark, as well as incredible songwriting and musicianship from the Batteau brothers themselves.
