One of the things I like about their music is that there is an archaic sound to them but instead of making it dated it makes it more timeless. I think it's because the basis of it is the feeling of the music and not superficial elements like using archaic instruments. It feels from some deep ancestral past but in a very undefined way and so can still connect to us.
Their music is definitely based around feeling and unconventional instruments, which gives them a somewaht timeless feel. Their influence on prog rock I'd say has a lot to do with this. They certainly belong in any Cosmic best albums list

At least get his name right
 
His name is Justin HayWARD, not HayWOOD ! And his music is unique and timeless and fabulous. Not to mention his voice is gorgeous !

In general most of their songs were just 3 and 4 mins but they helped set the precedent for long progressive suites with this song on their second album in 1968.

Such a great band. Days of Future Past is probably my favorite but they have many great cd's. In Search of the Lost Chord, To Our Children's Children's Children, Every Good Boy Deserves Favour, Seventh Sojourn... They are a band of many very good songs but only a few radio hits. To cut it down to just a 5 to 10 songs is hard.

I really like "The other side of life". I'm wondering what your opinion about that album is.

Would be interesting to know.
