[Heeplist] [NHC] Some Great New Music

[Bob Winward]

I am not sure what that means, as I really did like the last 2 Heep cds.

I listened again to Now What by DP twice yesterday.  The second time I made
notes for each track, in case anyone wants a track by track review.  I did
notice that in being critical, I didn't enjoy it as much.  There are 4
outstanding tracks, ther rest is decent.  I still cannot get over the
keyboard work.  Unless I have forgotten, I have never heard Airey so up
front and dominant.
