February 23, 1989 The Lance Page 13 Disc Spin Pink Floyd A Delicate Sound of Thun der (Live) Columbia Records This album is an obvious attempt by Pinl Floyd to cash in on the success of their previous record "A Momentary Lapse of Reason." If you liked that album, and older Floyd, you will like this, as it sounds almost as if it were recorded in the studio with a live audience dubbed in later. It is long, so put the disc in, and sit back and relax- that is what it is good for. John N. Edmonson The Toll The Price of Progression Geffen Records The Toll is a great new band out of Columbus, Ohio. In their debut album, "The Price of Progression," they have established themselves at a level of progressive music. The Toll's lyrics have a message, but their social awareness does not seem to be the type that many bands exhibit today because it is the "in" thing to do. The Toll makes no silly statements. It is all straight-fonward and plain. An interesting (fascinating even) part of this album is the narra tive sketches of lead singer Brad Circone. These are spells of spoken text in the songs that were adlibbed in the studio, and they give the songs extra life, and a sharp edge. N/Iusically, this is a good Rock-and - Roll record. Some "dense, brainstab slabs of kill-guitar grandeur" keep the album rocking. The fellows in this band also have a keen ear for the harmonies that are pleasing to the ear. Listen for the subtle backgrounds in "Tamara Told Me." Get The Toll. The album is quite good, and is worth several good intensive listens. John N. Edmonson Chapbook Finalists Announced E.
