This is just sublime brilliance. I've been digging this record almost 30 years late... I'd always categorized him (a sin in and of itself) as more comic musical performer than composer... Yeah, my bad. His "Gateway to the Mind's Eye" has some wonderful moments, too. smile

It's a shame that so many people got stuck on the "hit" with this guy.
There's really so much more to him than that.

As he said at his recent appearance at the Grammy Museum and in a number of interviews, "What I do best is write songs, tell stories."


A few other gems that get discovered when searching past the obvious.




...Weightless




...Screen Kiss




...Budapest By Blimp




...Beauty of a Dream




...Oceanea
