4.0 out of 5 stars Rock with The Heron, 23 Sep 2003
By S. GODFREY "Stuart" (Risca, South Wales) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
With The Incredible String Band still riding the crest of their hippy successes, Mike Heron spread his wings just a little, looked back to his rock band roots and followed producer Joe Boyd's advice in recruiting some top rock musicians to beef up his first solo album. It was a bit of a shock to fans who were familiar with the more gentle pastoral/whimsical/wierd material which is prime ISB, but it has stood the test of time well and is actually a fine and accomplished album with plenty of subtlety offsetting the touches of rock bombast. The contrast is most clearly seen between the other-worldy "Spirit Beautiful" and the downright grungy Who-driven "Warm Heart Pastry". Mike clearly had a great time making the album (check out his mega-grin on the extraordinary cover photo!)and his vocals are superb throughout. Fascinating as an essential part of the still-evolving ISB story, fun to compare with Robin's contemporaneous solo album "Myrrh", and great to enjoy on its own terms. Nice one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Patchy, 27 Oct 2004
This is basically an album of stuff that Mike Heron couldn't really do with The Incredible String Band. Much of the album is in a rock (rather than Folk) style & is sounds as if Mike & the other musicians had a great time making the album.

There are some excellent tunes on here (especially Warm Heart Pastry with Pete Townsend on Guitar) but there are almost as many that I'm not very keen on. However, this is often the way with solo projects & there is enough variety on here to keep things interesting.

5.0 out of 5 stars What ifs?, 16 Mar 2008
By C. BANGS "Chris B" (Derbyshire, U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What if Mike Heron had replaced Sandy Denny, What if Jimmy Page had replaced Richard Thompson, What if some of the most brilliant rock 'n rollers ever were put in a studio and allowed to have FUN playing quirky, clever, uncommercial music. There you have it, folks!
Give it a go- it's like nothing else you'll ever hear.
