Spirit

Although it wasn't really a concept album except for the premise of 12 dreams, I cannot think of an album that flowed as beautifully as "TWELVE DREAMS OF DR. SARDONICUS." Ironically, the Einsteins at the record company switched song order around on the "TIME CIRCLE" compilation of Spirit's music. Sadly, I learned recently from a friend of RANDY CALIFORNIA'S (the guitarist) that he had drowned saving his child in 1997.
