I was lent this album as a teenager. I kind of panned it, thinking that Rick Wakeman and his Yes fellow musical travelers were a bit "way out" for me at the time. Looking back at it all in retrospect, well, I was a teenager, wasn't I?I think that with this album, Rick Wakeman does justice to the Arthurian legend. That's what he does here. Yes, this is all pre-Monty Python, where the Arthurian legend was laid low and decimated. Otherwise, he does a fine, imaginative job on this album. Yes, synthesizers and all circa 1975 - the analog synth way. Could you ask for more?I call this review "Back When A&R Mattered," because A&M Records used to do a fine job of scouting their talent, before committing them to vinyl. This album is just another showcase of A&M Records credibility. Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss used to know how to do things right. This was before anyone else could simply "publish" their music by "throwing it up" (the right descriptive term?) on the internet. If "corporate rock" was so scary at the time, then A&M was not guilty of it. No, this is fine music.I really bought this album for the pleasant song "Guinevere." I don't know. Mr Wakeman and company seem to hit it on the head. A fine tune, a choir included, synth riffs, a piano used, meaningful lyrics. Once again, kudos to Wakeman and company and the A&R men at A&M Records who made this wonderful album/recording. It seems to have withstood the test of time.Thanks, Rick. Glad that you are still with us. Long live yourself, the boys with Yes, and your Pop who pointed you in the right musical direction. Keep that rock and roll sense of humo(u)r, too! :)
