    Somewhere...

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 30, 2001

    One of the least recoginzed and underrated albums from the 70's. If you are convinced that "I Robot" is the cleanest sounding record from this time period, I highly recommend that you get a copy of this recording. Not only that, the music is fantasti...c as well. Certainly not to many American bands were putting out music like this. It really is a shame because they were always horribly labeled as Emerson Lake and Palmer wantabes. This album sounds nothing like them, it has folk, electric and cartoon music all rolled into one. It is certainly one of the most diverse rock albums I have ever heard. Guest artists include Ruth and Ian Underwood from Zappas band, and the London Symphony Orchestra to add some beautiful orchestrations to Cowboy Star and We Need You Too. Danse With Me George and The Brunt are probably two of the most sophistically arranged pieces of music heard by any rock band. Even Zappa would be hard pressed to argue on my behalf (that is if he were still alive.) On this album, there is something here for everyone. Love songs, art rock and just lunitic goofy rock of which it could be best described as. It is something that cannot be explained, only listened to. It was also produced by Alan Parsons. Ambrosia would never match this style again, mainly due to a change in public and music industries tastes in music not to mention their first manager was a fire eating dragon. Which makes it all the more worth treasuring this music. It sounds like it could have been recorded yesterday, except for some of the keyboard sounds. I highly recommend that this album be picked up. Somewhere I've Never Travelled was the last loosely based American concept album since Phish's Rift that was truly great. Read more Less

    Must hear 70's recording

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 8, 2000

    Produced by Allan Parsons...this recording is arguably the finest effort produced by any band of the 70's. It has not lost any of it's creative charm in hundreds of times I've played it. It's about time "Somewhere I've never traveled" was released o...n CD. It's been long overdue for a record of this caliber. The vocal harmonies and instrumental layings are simply unrivaled. If you've never heard of this band or heard this record you must give it a listen. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Somewhere I've Never Travelled

  • All Music Guide

    After achieving moderate success with their self-titled debut, Ambrosia decided to up the ante by going for a bigger, more symphonic sound on this follow-up outing. To achieve this goal, they enlisted Alan Parsons, who mixed their first album, to produce and Andrew Powell (arranger for the Alan Parsons Project) to do full-blown orchestral arrangements on a number of the tracks. The resulting album lacks the careful fusion of pop and prog elements that characterized Ambrosia, with songs tending to fall into either progressive or soft rock categories. Just the same, it is a strong album with a number of sonically arresting moments. The finest songs are the most overtly progressive, the most dazzling being "Danse With Me, George," a tribute to Chopin that leads the listener through a bewildering array of styles (classical, jazz, and pop, to name just a few) in just under eight minutes. "Cowboy Star" is another knockout, bringing its tale of a city dweller who dreams of cowboy glory to lif...e with a beautiful orchestral mid-section that is strongly reminiscent of Aaron Copland. None of the straightforward pop songs are as catchy or instantly memorable as "Holdin' on to Yesterday," but "Runnin' Away" presents an appealing blend of carefully arranged harmonies and acoustic sounds, and "We Need You Too" provides the album with a suitably stately finale by building from a piano-led solo ballad into a cascade of soaring strings and harmony vocals. All in all, Somewhere I've Never Travelled lacks the crossover appeal that made Ambrosia such a unique album but is still a worthwhile listen for progressive rock fans. - Donald Guarisco, All Music Guide Read more Less

Biography

Ambrosia

Los Angeles quartet Ambrosia, whose founding members included guitarist/vocalist David Pack, bassist/vocalist Joe Puerta, keyboardist Christopher North, and drummer Burleigh Drummond, fused symphonic art rock with a slickly produced pop sound.
