this disc is awesome as is the band. Too bad that there are only 4 cuts from the original Live Sky album. The 2 best cuts "Ice" and "Surf City" are left off; instead they chose to have Live on WBAB versions instead,which is a shame. The Live Sky versions are superior in my mind and I have been unable to find any CD recordings of the album in its entirety. I still have my vinyl copy but I don't want to wear it out!

Animal Notes and Crack The Sky, their self-titled debut are Crack The Sky's finest recordings. This live material primarily followed these two fine recordings. This is a tight energetic band with terrific skill and delivery. Palumbo's clever tunes are well showcased here. As a bonus you get a standout cover of the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour...Simon

these guys were the bomb on college radio back in the day (late 70's early 80's) and this was the fuse. we played this record (that's right my young friends, record) all the time on the air along with Alan Holdsworth, Gong, Brand X, Bill Bruford, Tony Williams Lifetime, RTF, Happy the Man, etc. Incredible guitar hooks and great, intelligible and intelligent lyrics.

I can't say enough about this CD, I can't get enough of it and ended up buying all the CTS I could get my hands on. I don't understand why this band was not incredibly HUGE. Maybe I Can Fool Everybody Tonight is one of the best progessive rock songs I've ever heard.I couldn't help but be struck by the density of the melodic and harmonic structures, and the absolute purposefulness of every note of each chorus. Deep, raw, hypnotic melodic rock.
