I'm a great fan of this band and the album named simply 'Spock's Beard' is such a fantastic listen on headphones. Production is wonderful but one thing about this particular album that always hits me on every listen, is the variation of tempos and sounds throughout with this amazing emotional content.
Some of the melody lines are absolutely beautiful. Tinged with classic Prog Rock sounds like the mellotron. Emotional and sometimes explosive. 'With your Kiss' build to a real point where the hairs on my arms stand up.
If you don't know Spock's Beard, this is an amazing album musically, technically with some classic Prog climaxes. There is less of Morse's religious tinge and it has a real beauty in its power.
On the DT990, with its raised bass, this album smacks hard.
