<\/center>It’s a bit of a head-scratcher when a collection like this crosses my desk: a retrospective of a band I’d never heard of. Origins<\/em> is a career-spanning look at two distinct eras. The second (covered on the first disc) features a Clare Torry<\/strong>-sounding Tracy Hitchings<\/strong> fronting a band that sounds a bit like Spock’s Beard<\/strong><\/a>. The early material on the second disc features vocalist Damian Wilson<\/strong>. Only two members stuck around the whole time. Lots of Tony Banks<\/strong>-ish keyboard work, which is always welcome in these parts. The D&D motif of the album is goofy, but the music is solid.<\/p>\n
