They were!   Voyage 34, Sky Moves Sideways, Stars Die - these will be
among my absolute top 20 favourite music forever.   IMO this is when
they showed their greatest individuality and innovation.   Since then
their style has drifted steadily into an increasingly heavier Pink
Floyd type reproduction music rather than their own style.   This could
change of course - and I'll be the first to cheer if it does but I think
they badly missed the publicity wagon when it was offered.
