CD Reviews

BETTER THAN NOTHING...

David Hoeltje | Mariposa, CA United States | 09/26/2004

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Rare Bird was essentially two different bands. The Charisma era group was a Progressive based keyboard driven band while the three LP's from the Polydor period (from which this compilation draws its material) moved more towards guitar based progressive rock/pop. Any CD release of music by this criminally overlooked band is welcome, BUT...

A compilation that draws exclusively from a given period of a bands history should at least have photos of the correct line-up! Keyboardist Graham Field and drummer Mark Ashton from the Charisma era band were long gone by the time the music on this CD was recorded and yet are shown on all of the photos. Including an edited and inferior version of the classic "Epic Forest" is also inexcusable. The disc is "only" 74 minutes long with more than enough room left to have included the proper version of this wonderful song.

A nice try, but this band deserves better treatment and someone in charge of the project that cares and knows the material and personnel. Why release a hap-hazard compilation when the SAME NUMBER of people who bought this would gladly buy the three individual Polydor CD's?

Wrong introduction

Golovanov Alexey | Limassol, Cyprus | 06/12/2007

"A completely wrong introduction - no tracks from first 2 albums.

Avoid at any cost, otherwise you'll get a wrong impression of the band - actually, after the first two it was a completely different act - still competent and confident, but they've drifted from powerful progressive rock spiked with a strong dose of psychedelia towards uninspiring mainstream - wasting unique and powerful voice of Steve Gould. The solo project - Runner - was competent, but it was not "rare Bird" either. As a passionate fan of "Rare Bird" I bought "Third Time" myself - just to have it. But if you want to have a good introduction, get Sympathy. Warning: there a "live" album (a bootleg) around - with the same cover as the first album - the quality of sound is awful - it's a fragment of geniune concert recorded directly from mixing console + couple of songs recorded for BBC. If only a proper "live" would be available..."
