Welcome back, s_k !
I thought you had deserted us for good.
Congrats on aquiring "Time Of No Reply".It`s a great album, though inevitably,with a compliation spanning all his productive years, the style of the songs shifts around rather too much.
In terms of song quality, I`d say that the title track and the Pink Moon era songs are as good as any of his other recorded work.
For me, "Made to love Magic" is a little too whimsical, and with the track, "Been Smoking Too Long" the title perhaps gives a clue as to why the song doesn`t work very well.
But most of the other songs are excellent so yes, Chives, this album is well worth getting hold of imo.
