Hine

Can See Your House from Here is the seventh studio album by English progressive rock band Camel. Released in 1979, a new line up was introduced with founding members Andrew Latimer (guitar) and Andy Ward (drums) joined by bassist Colin Bass (to replace Richard Sinclair) and keyboardists Jan Schelhaas (who joined in 1978 for the Breathless tour) and Kit Watkins (ex-Happy The Man) who replaced Dave Sinclair. At one point, the album was going to be called Endangered Species.

The second album by Rupert Hine's fake group Thinkman. "Life Is A Full Time Occupation" is a collection split between songs that continued the media-manipulation theme from the first album and some dance-oriented songs written for an unfinished project of mine whose working title was The Placebo Effect.

The third and last album by Rupert Hine under the disguise of the ghost group Thinkman, Hard Hat Zone walks away from the subjects of media manipulation and information games. Hard Hat Zone was originally released in 1990 and featured a brilliant line up of musicians including Geoffrey Richardson (Caravan, Bob Geldof), on guitars, Phil Palmer (Penguin Cafe Orchestra) on electric guitars and Jay Aston providing backing vocals and lead vocals on 'Unite It, Don't Divide It'.

While Saga began as a progressive rock band, increasing pop sensibilities put the group in a league with bands like the Fixx in the early '80s. This album, which follows the excellent Worlds Apart, is nearly as good as its predecessor; Michael Sadler's commanding voice leads the way while the rest of the band punches up the fairly succinctly written songs with loads of texture and occasional instrumental fireworks. The guitar/keyboard interplay between Jim Gilmour and Ian Crichton alone is enough to get music geeks salivating. Producer Rupert Hine gives the material just enough production sheen to make it sizzle on the airwaves ("The Flyer" was a minor radio hit). Equally enjoyable for pop fans and prog rock fans, this unfortunately was Saga's last great record. /AMG/ …and the best one (IMHO). /Olaf der Weisse/
