7. Downstream

“Practically a solo piece by Rick, a powerful ballad and without a doubt one of the most beautiful pieces ever written. Very, very pretty.”

6. From Now On

“The way the folks at Supertramp were able to split tracks between their two main songwriters is excellent! That way you can hardly get tired of the record and the band. A bigger and emotional ballad, with clvinete and sax before becoming a progressive monster passage, full of sound.”

5. Lover Boy

“Man, what a string of sensational hits. Lover Boy is by Rick Davies and if it’s not called sensational it’s heresy for sure. After a beautiful beginning of piano and voice, the ‘chorus’ of the song is more than exciting, with a strong and timeless melody the song has an atonality that is hardly seen in popular groups.”

4. Babaji

“Babaji, many say it’s horrible or just plain bad. Do you know what I say? Screw it, someone who can say that can’t be right in the head. From the initial piano shared with Roger’s voice and the small orchestrations through Bob’s rhythmically strange drums, the melody never leaves any other track on the record to be desired.”

3. Give a Little Bit

“A gem! This beginning with the guitar and vocals of Give A Little Bit is a pearl of world rock. With an extremely simple but extremely captivating melody. Roger Hodgson and his unmistakable timbre of voice.”

2. Even in the Quietest Moments

“What an absolute classic, with deep melodies, perfect vocals and a gigantic atmosphere enveloping the whole song. And once again pay close attention to bassist Doug, PQP what killer lines this guy created. When Bob’s battery comes in, the stop is already more than won. Excellent are also the parts where Rick shares the vocals with Roger in the background of the melody and when the sax enters the song to share waters once and for all.”

1. Fool’s Overture

“That name would be worth the entire track. But we also have this piano and string quartet brightening the whole story, so we don’t have to worry too much. Then a shy synthesizer appears in a sublime melody. Surprise! Surprise! Is it a witch hunt? I’m not sure, but the effect is devastating. The band enters and a synthesizer is the one who takes all the melody for a long time until a part full of emotion, half soundtrack.”
