Distant Horizons - help and advice

[Doug Pearson]

My take on DH is that it's the first HW album where the non-Brock songs are
consistently better than Dave's contributions ... I love "Wheels",
"Alchemy", "Reptoid Vision" and even "Phetamine Street".  Obviously, I must
like the rocked-up bits more than the mellower and electronic ones!  My
purchasing advice is - if you already have all the previous HW studio
albums, go for it!  But if you don't already have all the UA era stuff, all
the Calvert era/Charisma stuff, and 'Levitation', 'Chronicle of the Black
Sword', 'Electric Teepee' & 'Alien4' (not to mention several fine live
albums), then fill in those gaps in your collection first.  I'm sure others
will have similar (or different!) advice ...
