5.0 out of 5 stars this album defines space rock, June 24, 2005

This review is from: Nightingales & Bombers (Audio CD)

this is easily one of the top (prog) rock albums i've listened to (though it took some time for it to grow on me) and easily rivals the roaring silence as mann's best work. throughout the album the format of song followed by instrumental is maintained, which only reflects the instrumental capabilities of the band members (mick rogers is easily one of the most underrated guitar players in rock music). the album opens with a bang with springsteen's spirits in the night and what a cover it is! mann apparently is at his best when re-interpreting the songs of others, for the other highlight of the album is the cover of joan armatrading's visionary mountains where mick rogers unleashes one of the most expressive guitar solos i've ever heard. the instrumentals are not fillers but well composed/performed pieces of music which fits perfectly with the mood of the album. the mood and the atmosphere of this album defines space rock!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Earth Band CD, March 24, 2005

NIGHTINGALES AND BOMBERS is a wonderful CD by Manfred Mann's Earth Band. Most of the songs are wonderful, and it helps to prove that Mick Rogers was just as great a lead singer as Chris Thompson. As a bonus cut, you get the version of "Spirits In The Night" with Mick Rogers on vocals. The fact that this album didn't do well commercially in this country is a good reason why music appreciation teachers should assign homework for their students to do over the summer.

I own a good chunck of Manfred Mann's recordings. This is easily my favorite and I believe his best. Believe it, buy it. Your only regret will be the short playing time.
