*. Mike Heron .* (Reissue)

Album: Diamond of Dreams (1976)(Reissue 1991 + 1 Bonus)
Genre: Prog Rock (Hard Rock/Folk/Pop)  /  UK

The re-named "Mike Heron's Reputation" hit the shelves in '77 with Diamond of Dreams, which stands as one of Mike Heron's most mature and gratifying works. "Do It Yourself", a tale of feeling helpless while watching a struggling friend mask his pain, is masterful.  It's balanced perfectly by the sci-fi reincarnation epic "Redbone". Likewise, "Draw Back The Veil" mixes thoughtful lyrics with ferocious playing, while the uplifting title piece manages to convey more affect in its one simple verse than do most entire albums. This would approach five stars if it weren't so damn synth heavy. Still, it has much more presence than either album coming directly before of after it, and stands as the pure rock album that Heron always wanted to make. Review by "ochsfan" (Rate Your Music).

RATING:  7.75 / 10
