there is this other CD by Radius: "Elevation" (Ear-Rational ECD 1036), that isn't all that bad. it includes amongst other things a beatiful soft piece by Sheila Maloney. Low Flying Aircraft is quite another thing all together, it shouldn't be mentioned in the same category as the other David Cross albums, I beleive he was merely performing as a guest musician. don't get me wrong, it's really a great album!
"The Big Picture" is my favourite with "Testing to destruction" as a close second. I think David has really found a wonderful style in the progressive rock genre. I find "Exiles" a bit too commercial, but I think he still remains in his own personal style, thanks david. sorry to lose John Dillon, but what a replacement Mick Paul would turn out to be! where does all these talented musicians come from?
I really hope Sheila will be back for the next album!
