Gems between 70s prog and 80s Neo Prog.......2005-04-12
Anyone's Daughter (AD) was a Stuttgart, Germany band that did not form until 1978, when prog rock was about to enter a lengthy moribund phase. The closest point of reference might be the work of the "super group" UK and Camel, as well as fellow Germans Eloy, but AD was more melodic and accessible than either, while simultaneously displaying a fresher approach and intense instrumental attack. They were not hurt by the warm vocals of bassist Harald Bareth, either. They might also remind one of a host of "neo prog" groups that appeared after they already had several albums under their belt. Somehow, AD captured the spirit of prog's golden era and the catchiness of the neo prog to become one of the best symphonic prog bands on the planet, let alone Germany.
This live double album covers all of the band's studio work in the 1979-1983 period, with the first set featuring the albums sung in English (Adonis and Anyone's Daughter) which are often regarded as their best, and the second set showcasing the German
sung releases (in Blau and Neue Sterne), which are actually even more groundbreaking, representing the best marriage of pop and prog I have heard.
Highlights are many, and naturally include the 4 part masterpiece "Adonis", but also superb renditions of "Superman" with its emotional chorus and lead guitar flourishes; the exemplary crunching work of "Anyone's Daughter"; the intensity of Moria; the romanticism of "Der Plan"; the lyric free lyricism and keyboard/guitar interchanges of "La La" and "Ilja Illia Lela"; the almost celtic folkiness of "Sonne" and "Für Ein Kleines Mädchen"; and the world beat fusion of "Nichts Für Mich".
