[Heeplist] (no subject)

Having listened to Salisbury and Look at Yourself recently, I have to agree . 70s Heep was magical, I attribute that to Byron, and the band building around that awesome talent. And I do really like current Heep, just different.

I do not know for sure what was it due to - Byron's voice, Ken's vocal harmonies and various instruments, Gary's bass, analog recording with vintage equipment, spirit of the times or all of the above - but it is gone now and we have just a decent hard rocking band belonging to this day and age. Yes, I know it is more than "just" in comparison to numerous mediocrities modern or not so modern, it is even special in its own way, but that very Heep magic is missing. Still I like what Mick Box & Co. have been doing since 1982, they are really good at it, just in a more down to earth way.
