Crime Of The Century 40th Anniversary

Description

The punishment befits the crime, and a quarter of a century later, Supertramp have been forgiven by critics. Quite why they induced such negative press seems unjustified, as Bloody Well Right and Dreamer sound as fresh as ever. The electric piano cuts through the speakers like a knife through butter, the treble at times hurting the ear like a heavy rock guitar solo. Both Hodgsons and Davies voices sound rich and confident, although both are quite different. Maybe the pace slackens with the slightly indulgent If Everyone Was Listening and the title track, but there are enough musical highlights to recommend this for any would-be 90s progsters wants list. Mastered for Vinyl and Cut by Ray Staff at Air Studios, London.
