"david paton is the most under rated songwriter he ranks next to macca. his bass guitar works and ian bairnsons guitar solo on penny in my pocket is a blinder,"
In your face melodies!

"This is definitely one of my Desert-Island-Disks. A must for anyone who enjoys great harmonies and pure melody. Remember music lovers, David Paton and Ian Bairnson of Pilot have been ( and Ian still is!) the core of the creative genius behind the Alan Parsons Project. Morin Heights is Pilot's Abbey Road!"
Everything you're looking for if you are in to rock'n roll!

"A bonafide rock band of the 20th century and this album shows you why! Every note they play gets your attention. A must-but CD!"
A must-have!

"If you're a true rock'n'roll fan, Morin Heights is a must-have item.Great guitar playing by Bairnson (evidently he took the heaviest duty in the album) and David Paton going heavier display a new route headed by Pilot, under the production of Roy Thomas Baker instead of Alan Parsons.Not enough, in a time of chronic lack of talent like nowadays, it's very good to go back to the basics: good, honest, heartplayed rock'n'roll. Buy it!"
