Awesome choice - I need to get this on vinyl again....if I can!
I have all of Texas' albums and this is the runaway best IMHO. It's superb production values and varied mix of excellent tracks means it's a solid reference for any kit trials. Now playing on CD:
Cd2 for a change.

Horslips - Happy to Meet, Sorry to Part
Streaming on TIDAL......... a mention from MERCKY and continuing on with the exploration of Horslip. I enjoyed 'Drive The Cold Winter Away' and looking forward to 'Happy to Meet, Sorry to Part!'
Reminded me to put “All-the way back” by Declan Sinnott.....way, way back from Horslips past.
I could never get into Horslips. Sorry. mea culpa.
Real Ponchos album entitled Sunshine.
Highly recommended, a double album if you can still find it:

Haven't played it in too long. Really good album.
Sir Colin Davis & Royal Concertgebouw orchestra - Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique
Yesterday, every now and then have good concert memories on this album...
Quite interesting progressive metal album...
Starting the morning with Horslips undoubted magnum opus The Book of Invasions- a Celtic symphony.
One of those perfect albums from a band at the peak of their powers who had learned from every mistake or weakness on previous albums. Any awkwardness of fusion of electric guitar fiddle, flute, uilleann pipes, and bodhrán was gone and traditional and “rock” instruments combine here seamlessly. Johnny Fean, one of the best guitarists you’ve never heard of.
