I never got an album review done for February, what with being in bed most of the time, but as I've done before when I didn't get a review done, I've posted an "Elmeaux Recommends" album selection for you to try.
If you know this one, you'll probably have enjoyed it in your youth, since it was released in 1977. Supertramp's "Even in the Quietest Moments" is a wonderful Prog album, written by Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson. With the stylish, often mournful vocal of Hodgson, the album is full of expansive Prog sounds and lyrics.
Best track on the album? Fool's Overture, by a long shot.
From Wikipedia:
Even in the Quietest Moments… is the fifth album by progressive rock band Supertramp, released in April 1977.
The album was recorded mainly at Caribou Ranch Studios in Colorado with overdubs, vocals and mixing completed at The Record Plant in Los Angeles and was Supertramp's first album to use engineer Peter Henderson, who would work with the band for their next three albums as well.
Even in the Quietest Moments reached number 16 on the Billboard Pop Albums Charts in 1977, and within a few months of release became Supertramp's first Gold (500,000 copies or more) selling album in the US. In addition, "Give a Little Bit" became a US Top 20 single and reached number 29 on the UK Singles Chart.[1] While "Give a Little Bit" was the big hit, both "Fool's Overture" and the title track also got a fair amount of FM album-rock play.
