This is a real gem....Outstanding!.......2005-08-31

When I first heard this CD it blew me away, and it still does today. This one and only album from 1970 is a true masterpiece, and the music is just truly wonderful. Vocalist Linda Hoyle has one of the best voices I've ever heard, but unfortunately there's not much more available on her except a solo LP she had out in 1971 called "Pieces Of Me," which I strongly and highly recommend. I totally agree with the other reviewer and the comments made about this CD and the music. The Bonus tracks are just as good, if not better, than some of the songs from the original album! Definitely get the Angel Air CD with all the bonus tracks, you will not be disappointed. There's also another Affinity CD out with unreleased material that was intended to come out as an album, but never happened, and now it's available on CD, and it's from 1971-1972 with a different female vocalist that's quite good too, but maybe not as strong or powerful a voice as Linda Hoyle's, but still very good, and her name was Vivien McAuliffe. Sadly, Vivien is no longer with us, as she passed away in 1998 at just the age of 50. I also recommend that CD as well, the music is outstanding, and you won't be disappointed in Vivien's singing, she really did have a great voice. Glenn Cypress,CA USA

Affinity + Bonus Tracks (Angel Air).......2004-04-27

If you're not familiar with Affinity,they were a five member English ensemble that had released this sole lp in 1970.The band seems to blend the elements of pop,folk,jazz and blues into their music.A lot of thought,heart and emotion went into the making of this record.Plus there's eight bonus tracks added,that honestly are about as GOOD as the original album.Best cuts are "Night Flight",the delightful "Mr.Joy","Coconut Grove",the eleven minute Bob Dylan cover "All Along The Watchtower","Eli's Coming",the soulful "If You Live","You Met Your Match" and their Beatles cover "I Am The Walrus".Lead vocalist Linda Hoyle appeals as sort of a creative cross between Carol King and Julie Driscoll.Includes a 12-page informative booklet that indicates that the band was planning a U.S. tour a bit after the lp's release,but unfortunately it never happened because Hoyle ended up leaving the group.A second lp was even in the works.Might make a decent gift for someone who enjoys today's adult oriented rock.
