"Elements" is an all-too-brief overview of this influential musician's remarkable career. Beginning with material from bands many have never heard of (Toe Fat, for example) and ending with recent recordings, Hensley's songwriting and keyboard skills carry a common theme, even in what now seems like an unlikely choice in Blackfoot. Of course, any true fan will find omissions that seem inexplicable, such as Stealin'; I was particularly struck by the absence of material from "Glimpse of Glory", one of his finest solo efforts. Perhaps Hensley's embrace of Christianity was too controversial for modern mores..who can say? While anyone interested in Hensley's career may have most of these selections already, "Elements" represents an outstanding introduction to this remarkable artist.

This collection is about as comprehensive an anthology as you'll find these days. From the Gods to his post-Uriah Heep solo career, its all here. Yes, the 'Glimpse of Glory' album is not represented but that album was a private release that preceded Ken's "un-retirement", so the part-time nature of his output may have led to its exclusion. Also, the selections (or few omissions) from his Heep-era output will undoubtedly raise a few eyebrows amongst Heep/Hensley aficionados.

There are no previously unreleased gems and that is the only negative comment I have.
