What is this supposed to mean?

(2 out of 5 stars)

"I chanced upon this anthology and couldn't believe it. What is this supposed to mean? CD 1 deals mainly with their first three succesful albums. The tracks are out of order and incomplete. I don't know any of the songs on the second disc. Magna Carta was never a favourite of mine (dreamlike hippy songs that tended to get boring and even annoying), but they did record some very listenable songs. 'Seasons' (side 1 of the album) was a suite of songs, taking the listener through the year. It should have been on disc one, integral. 'Lord of the ages' was their most adventurous venture in folk oriented music - where is the title track? A few years later, Magna Carta recorded an album called 'Took a long time', which contained one good track, 'Took a long time'. It's not here.

The cover, by the way, is an ancient Roger Dean painting copied directly from the 'Views' book (1975). A few really good tracks (Time for the leaving, Wayfaring, Airport song) give this item two stars. As for the rest, better leave it alone."
