IIRC AA is all vocals. Pyramid has a few instrumentals; "In the Lap of the Gods" is mesmerizing. But it also is mostly vocals. I don't have a problem with the vocals. On AP albums I tend to listen to them as just another instrument.

The lyrics to Pyramania are worth a listen, though. If you have any recollection of the period when some folks thought that pyramids had "special" properties, then Pyramania is worth a couple of snorts and at least one good guffaw.

Pipeline is from AA.

And yes, I do remeber Pyramania...a very good friend of mine was heavy into both that and Kirilian photography at the time.

And drugs. :-)

I almost gave him a coronary from laughing one extremely bemushroomed evening; he was staring out the window of a darkened bedroom in a converted stable in Buckingham PA at a Harvest Moon, then became entranced by the shadow pattern cast by the window screen across the rough wooden panelled wall...

him: "Oh, wow!" (yes we did talk like that then)
me: "What?"
him: "The moon, man...it's coming in through the screen...wow."
me: "Oh...well...step back."

It took him a minute to get it, and about twenty minutes to get over it. :-)

He had "Tales of Mystery...." and also "Turn of a Friendly Card" (on vinyl, natch)...and played them on a Rabco turnntable (belt drive, linear tracking) though a pair of Phase Linear 700s into Epi 1000 towers. Really kick-ass system for its day.

Its day being approximately the year Flint was born. ;-)
