Customer Reviews Together has All Day Watcher and cool flute It took me a while to like Cruisin' Southern Germany and From Heaven from Hell but the whole CD is great. The first track All Day Watcher has such a mysterious beginning and with a great social cynicism and powerful bass lines and licks make it my favorite song by far and sets the tone for a great album including Avalanche of Love, Jangalene (amazing acoustic guitar) and Brother Wind (cool flute). I also have Seven Tears and like it nearly as well. . Best pre-Moontan album "From Heaven, From Hell" is a dark, brooding tune with lots of great falsetto singing from George Kooymans. This is my favorite pre-Moontan album. The song is quite similar to the classic "She Flies On Strange Wings", which is from the inferior Seven Tears album. "Thousand Feet Below You" is also a great song with a catchy, rocking riff. The rest of the tracks are great as well, Jangalene being the low point for me. Many of the songs seem way past their time. A great album, and much better than Seven Tears. . looking towards "moontan":end of the hard rock era for GE... out of their 4 early 70's hard-rockin albums:this one is tops in my opinion!. . not a single duff track here. my favorites are the george kooymans-sung tunes like "buddy joe","all day watcher",and "from heaven from hell". they also practically invent KANSAS-style rock with "brother wind",and they did it 2 years prior to the advent of KANSAS' debut album!. "avalanche of love",is also a great zep-styled rocker,with a beautiful ending!. "thousand feet below you",is a greatly executed and confident rocker,a good way to end an era. . . which would move on to trickier,but lusher soundscapes,and the beginning of my favorite GE era:moontan,switch,to the hilt and contraband. .
