Impact (Patrick Moraz) (LP 3254)

Patrick Moraz  The Story Of I  (Vinyl, Charisma Records, 1976) ** 

Genre: Prog rock

Places I remember: Little Red Bookshop

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperbolesGear costume: Best Years Of Our Lives

They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1Part 2Part 3Part 4Part 5

Active compensatory factors: I'm not exactly sure why I bought this. I'm not a big fan of synths as I've often stated, but I make exceptions for Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman, and Jean-Michel Jarre.

It was worth a punt on Patrick Moraz' first solo album because I have the Refugee album, and the albums he did when in Yes and The Moody Blues.

It's a concept album (I don't get it really - something about ascending a tower but then I lose the plot) and the music is all very busy - in a frenetic and noisy kind of way, and not really my cup of tea.

Where do they all belong? I don't have any desire to add to my Moraz collection but I'll hang onto The Story Of I and see if I ever come back to it. Who knows.
