This is definitely one of my Desert-Island-Disks. A must for anyone who enjoys great harmonies and pure melody. Remember music lovers, David Paton and Ian Bairnson of Pilot have been ( and Ian still is!) the core of the creative genius behind the Alan Parsons Project. Morin Heights is Pilot's Abbey Road!

Pilot is perhaps best known for the single "Magic" (not on this album) and for being the distinctive sound of the Alan Parsons Project. However, this overlooked album from 1976 is a really great musical achievement. Every song is a gem. Pilot has never sounded better, and the production work from Roy Thomas Baker is second to none. Highly recommended.

Brilliant production that is clean yet strong, teamed with classic pop song writing that comes together in one of the few truley classic 1970's albums. Every track is a refreshing part of the whole. A must listen from start to finish. An experience that doesn't come along that often in rock music these days.

Most possibly the classic "sleeper" recording of the 70's! Great
musicianship, great songs and great production from Roy Thomas
Baker following on down the path of his production from Queen's "A Night At The Opera" recording. Fans of that album and 10cc's recordings around this time will find this album irresistable. Paton's "Steps" is a super song with great harmonies, and "Trembling" has Bairnson playing some awesome guitar which should be played LOUD! The album should be listened to from start to finish as a most songs do sync together giving the album a unique experience. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!

If you're a true rock'n'roll fan, Morin Heights is a must-have item.

Great guitar playing by Bairnson (evidently he took the heaviest duty in the album) and David Paton going heavier display a new route headed by Pilot, under the production of Roy Thomas Baker instead of Alan Parsons.

Not enough, in a time of chronic lack of talent like nowadays, it's very good to go back to the basics: good, honest, heartplayed rock'n'roll. Buy it!

A bonafide rock band of the 20th century and this album shows you why! Every note they play gets your attention. A must-but CD!

david paton is the most under rated songwriter he ranks next to macca. his bass guitar works and ian bairnsons guitar solo on penny in my pocket is a blinder,
