"I liked Manfred Mann in the seventies, but I love them now.

This album smokes. Everything about it shows maturity. The musicians are scary good, the composition extremely original, the lyrics excellent.

I like "plains " the album from 1991 even more, which is tribal music revisited with GREAT talent. This one is good funk by times, good rock the rest. It includes a superb remake of Tchaikovsky's first concerto ( oh, so classic) into an hymn for the liberated woman. The melody is presented without the fire of the concerto, it's one of the best classical melodies I think. I was glad to rediscover it this way, it shows its beauty well."

I am a "Mann's" man..

"..and here I want to assure all fans, that this CD will not disappoint.

It is very "manfred-ish" though not as progressive as for example "Solar Fire". Songs are shorter but melodic and performed with perfect elegance characteristic to this band. Get it."

Great goodness
