Manfred Mann’s Earth Band – Solar Fire

Manfred Mann’s Earth Band – Solar Fire

Quinn the Eskimo takes a spin around the solar system in a Moog fuelled spaceship, insured by Progressive.

This is a prog rock gem from 1973.  Mann does a wonderful job with a variety of keyboard instruments.  Mick Rogers comes in with a lot of killer guitar work & vocals.  They are well supported by Colin Pattenden on bass & Chris Slade on drums.  All together they create a well produced album that speeds by enjoyably.  It’s a mix that will suit both prog & guitar fans.

Here’s a link to the wiki on the album, and a link to their website, if you’re interested in learning more about them.
