I'm afraid that it is (his solo material, at least).  Even though I'm a
*huge* Simon House fan (I even own the Bowie and Japan albums he's on ...
OK not the Thomas Dolby one), his Spiral Realms and solo releases don't do
much for me.  They're very nice, the playing's good ... but like many
(most?) musicians, Simon does better in a band than solo.

If you don't have the original two High Tide albums, definitely check those
out.  Also the posthumous 'Interesting Times' release of c.1972 jams is great.
