Free Music Review: Some Clouds Along With The Warm Sunlight
Hit: 4 Stars
This January 1977 release is an excellent example of how a true artist in this "golden age of rock" would use an album as a creative venue; the cover art is magnificent, the running time clocks in at nearly 54 minutes and a collectible insert was a pyramid with photos of the band members on each panel.
And as with a wealth of Todd Rundgren creations, there is a variety of venues for the music that are oftentimes as frustrating as they are brilliant. In the latter is the majestic, Overture: Mountaintop and Sunrise/Communion with the Sun, while the former is home to the silly, Singring and the Glass Guitar (An Electrified Fairytale).
The pop sensibilities of Eternal Love and heavy punch in Jealousy are excellent remedies to the preachy politics found in Hiroshima. But the musicianship combined with the studio techniques make the album shine from the warmth of the sun, when not battling brief overcast skies.
