You must realise Shaker that music is quite personal and that many Americans are buying Glorys albums and my idea in starting up this thread was to allow others to listen to the music and form their own opinion.
I have listened to "The Soundtrack of our Lives" (For those interested, Here is a track, "Sister Surround")

They are a very accomplished band but I found the vocals a little weak - and what struck me most on all three tracks that I listened to was that the sound was so early seventies! That was probably 10 years before you were a twinkle in your dads eye
I could pick out Floyd, Yardbirds and the track "Bigtime" definitely had shades of Hawklords. (That was Hawkwind when they went through a musical era for about 3 months ) I think their sound will grow on me and will certainly be listening to them again - Thanks
