This album starts fine and then has major weaknesses in its middle: nothing interesting from 6. Fuh You → 10. Dominoes…
But then: 11. Back in Brazil!!!
What a song! And all the other songs following til the end are “bombastic”: baroque, glam, grandiose, fun, extremely enjoyable! 13. Caesar Rock; 14. Despite Repeated Warnings…

I habitually listen to Radio Paradise every day, both to discover music I hadn’t heard before, and to warm up my system prior to any critical listening.
These artists were unknown to me, but I enjoyed what I heard, so I bought the download.

Favourite track The Lamentations Of Round Oak Waters. Inspired by an old English poem that addresses the destruction of the English landscape. At least that’s how I understood it. Beautiful.

Tannoy Guy R. Fountain Autograph?
Originally designed in 1954. Makes you think about advances in audio since when they can still get the comment:
