Captain Beyond....an early 70's group made up of former members of Deep Purple, Iron Butterfly, and Johnny Winter's band.....Not bad....some 60's navel gazing evident in song titles like "Dancing Backwards (On A Sea Of Air)" or "As The Moon Speaks (To The Waves Of The Sea)", but some good guitar work.

The Best Of Budgie, another old underated rock band who had some of the best EVER song titles.
