Yeh great album that Adrian. Love the way it ends with how it starts with a sustained Organ.. His 'Chameleon in the shadow of the night' & 'The silent corner & the empty stage' are good ones too.
VDGG were the band tho..
Cheers Andre, I will look them out.Quote:

Having a chilled out morning, probably my favourite Carpenters album, I picked up this mint copy on Monday for a £1, so it will replace the NM one, which I will pass on to a friend.
I now a lot of people run the Carpenters down, but they were hugely successful, and I would say nearly all their albums are impeccably engineer and produced. What is quite fascinating is I believe they hardly wrote any of their own material, but took classic songs of other artists and writers and turned them into the Carpenters sound, in fact so much so that some people are convinced that the Carpenters versions are the originals. Richard Carpenter was definitely a top arranger to be able to consistently do so.
