Yes -
Tales From Topographic Oceans
Can be regarded as the best Yes album in their history.
This double CD, recorded in 1973, is another concept offering,
each side of the disks being devoted to each topic, these
being The Revealing Science of God, The Remembering, The
Ancient and Ritual, this writers personal favourite.

Electric Light Orchestra -
The Ultimate Collection
It is too easy to forget this fine 1970's band that had
hit after hit, spawned as an offshoot of The Move.
37 of the 38 'pop' songs on this double CD were written
by the prolific pen of Jeff Lynne and this collection
of memorable tunes shows just how good ELO were.

Dean Friedman -
The Very Best Of
Friedman hit the UK charts in the late 1970's and then
seemed to disappear at the height of his fame. A US singer/songwriter
his wry humour and clean melodies serve to offer the listener
an enjoyable experience.
Most of the songs from his hit album 'Well, Well Said
The Rocking Chair are hear plus extra tracks such as Lydia
and Ariel.

The Verve -
Urban Hymns
OK so this album is not 1970's music but it SHOULD
be!
Excellent material, mainly from the pen of vocalist/guitarist
Richard Ashcroft each track living up to the title of
the album.
Worth a listen, especially the tracks Blue Sweet Symphony
and The Drugs Don't Work.

David Gray -
White Ladder
A 1998 CD included because of its sheer excellence. David
Gray is a singer/songwriter in the same class as John Martyn
and well worth a listen.
This album also contains a vesion of Soft Cell's Say Hello,
Wave Goodbye.
Laid back material! |
| David Gray -
A New Day At Midnight
This 2002 follow up to White Ladder (above) not only confirms
Gray's status as an excellent singer/songwriter but also
sees him air his emotions via his music. |

Robert Miles -
Dreamland
Another non-1970's album but one that is great for background
music at parties or a long, hard drive in the car.
Electro-pop at its finest although a little repetitive with
tow versions of certain tracks.
Yello Revisited? |
