5.0 out of 5 stars Nice swirling space rock, early Phil Collins band...., July 26, 2007

Flaming Youth (the name for this band came from some source I know not what!) may have become most noteworthy as being a very early band containing Phil Collins as a member. But this is nice swirling space rock with floating melodies along the lines of "Intergalactic Touring Band" or Manfred Mann's "Solar Fire" so, if you like that type of thing, you will clearly find much to enjoy here. It was thought highly enough of in the UK to release in a deluxe gatefold LP package with a tissue stained glass window. So someone must have had high hopes. Grab it when you can at reasonable prices, it can get pretty expensive when the available copies get soaked up by collectors.
Oh, one more thought, seek out the version with 11 tracks. The two extra songs are from the 45 rpm "Man Woman and Child" and its original B-side, which did not appear on the LP.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Album In It's Own Right, April 4, 2009

Flaming Youth's only album is great its own right. Too bad they didn't record more. We know about Phil Collins but whatever happened to Brian Chatton, Ronnie Caryl and Gordon Smith?

All songs are unique and don't sound dated. Rockers like 'Changes', 'In the Light of Love' and 'Pulsar' are instantly memorable. 'From Now On' wouldn't sound out of place at church ceremony.
