What there is however is a good collection of Uriah Heep songs. With John Wetton on bass in place of the dismissed Gary Thain, the band had the opportunity to exploit Wetton's songwriting and vocal skills, but once again it's Hensley's songwriting which dominates the album.

David Byron is still in fine form vocally, thus Wetton becomes almost a session player, providing bass and only occasional backing vocals it was subsequently revealed that he was actually a "salaried" band member only. Apart from the opening title track, side one of the LP contains much the weaker tracks on the album. The remaining tracks on side one are a bit by-the-numbers Heep, although "Beautiful dream" has some good keyboards. The second side is more diverse, with a couple of fine ballads allowing Byron to display his more sensitive side.

The unaccompanied intro to "Why did you go" is particularly delicate, and would have been a challenge beyond most of Byron's contemporaries. The final track, "A year or a day" builds superbly from a slow soft start to a climactic conclusion, with lyrical echoes of "The wizard". While "Return to Fantasy" is a fine album, it does not consistently meet the enormously high standards the band had set for themselves. There are some excellent moments, but there's also an apparent lack of ambition at times, with some treading of water in evidence.

The deluxe remaster includes seven bonus tracks, two of which are single B sides, four are advanced demos, and one a cut and paste extension of the title track. But then things sour quickly.

The listener is asked to sit through four absolutely dire songs: "Your Turn To Remember", "Prima Donna", "Showdown" and "Why Did You Go": a high-school dance shuffle, a bass-horn diseased country-rocker, slide-guitar driven country-rock again and a vacant love song frustratingly, with even more twangy country guitar work! It's only "A Year And A Day" that makes the second side less than horrendous, its ethereal opening giving way to a poignant organ-driven anthem and then back again to the gentler, more contemplative atmospheres.

Had they replaced some of the filler, we'd have a very strong album here. Instead they served up 4 excellent songs and 5 abominations. Approach with caution. Why Heep? So, I'd better get used to the music before the show after I have been so long baombarded my ears with Dream Theater songs. Second, there has just recently an excellent interview with the band by my collaborator colleague Bob McBeath at this site. Potentially, I would also watch the Surabay concert because I'd probably have an assignment there on 14th Feb.

Well, it's not coincibence, it's an intention - because Heep was my hero during my "right"placed childhood man..!!!! The album blew me away at first listen as the cassette started the album with "A Year or A Day" song that originally was the last track of the album.

This song is really excellent! It starts in an ambient nuance with a soft and long sustain keyboard work by Hensley followed brilliantly with a melodic singing line of Byron in an accentuated voice: "Seen from the height of a thousand miles. I almost cry listening the tone of voice Byron sings here.. What a memorable part here! The musical nuance even better when the lyrical part enters this one: "Can't we try to let the past go by. With it's lessons firmly settled in our minds.

To our children one by one. And before the darkness comes. Let us leave a world full of light of a different kind.. The rhythm section that comprises acoustic guitar rhythm by Mick Box and soft keyboard make the music really melodic to my ears. Great composition, strong songwriting! The AOR sound was almost ignored in "Conquest" which was fine with me. Unfortunately, this genre will strike back again in this album. First with "Chasing shadows" which is not too bad a track but "On The Rebound" is rather weak.

As you know, I far much prefer the goold old rock than this. The same mood prevails in "Running all Night" and that's the major problem of this album. It follows a single song format, making the ensemble pretty boring and repetitive. I admit and therefore I respect that Mick's task was daunting.

He was responsible of the survival of this once great band. The Heep history reminds me the Kansas one. Great and wonderful band for several years, very prolific and then the deep descent to tasteless albums and the dispersal of some prominent band members.

Let's hope for the Heep that they will find a way to regain some of their past brilliance. It is not with this effort that they will succeed though. I really do not like this album so far.

Almost no song is appealing. The absence of Hensley demonstrates that he WAS the Heep even if their last releases didn't match their legendary albums. There is no one who can take his role on a consistent manner in terms of songwriting.

I wish that in future releases, the band members will unite and join forces a little better to create better songs. Nice vocals, great keys, superb rythymic section and a very good Mick Box. The highlight of this album and quite remininscent of the Purple I must say. The same feeling applies with the closing number. I would say that this is the direction to follow for the Heep. Let's forget about the crappy FM music and let's stick more to good hard rock music.

The first bonus track "Tin Soldier" is of the same caliber than the last two songs of the original album. I wonder why it didn't make it.

It is superior to most of the songs featured. As long as the Heep plays good rock songs, there is nothing wrong with the band.

It might not be brilliant, but at least their music is good. It was also my reflection with their previous album which I have rated with three stars. In comparison with the other songs, the second bonus track is also pleasant.

More AOR than the last three songs, but not too bad. Thanks to these four songs and the opener, I will rate this effort with two stars. I'm looking for better things to come live or studio. It's okay if you do NOT like it, but I do. Well, you may not like this album but. It's due to the power of opening track! Have you noticed how track position matters so much for some people, including myself?

Yes, the overall album may sound bleak, but if the opening track is excellent, it might bias the perception for the whole album. That's especially true for me. By any measure, by any musical background people might impose on, this is definitely not an album that needs to be considered in rock music scene.

I don't mind with it really. But at the end. Free Me Cheat 'N' Lie The Dance Choices EAC. Innocent Victim Bronze Rec. Free 'n' Easy Cheat 'n' Lie Choices Illusion -B.
