[Heeplist] Heeplist] Heep Koko

I think "Koko" is a very interessting record. Being away quite a while 
from the release of "Into the wild" the band took the chance to give a 
great overview over all the last 20 years starting with the "first 
comeback" done by "Sea of Light"
But I don't think it can compete with live records like "Live in Europe 
79" or "Spellbinder" - and there are songs especially at the beginning 
where the vocals are very poor. "Against all odds" and especially 
"Traveller in Time" are more than disappointing sung by Bernie.

But in generally it's great to hear in which condition this band - 
running straight to its 50th anniversary - and the nearly 70year old 
"Wah Box" is. WONDER(!)ful!
