It is extremely difficult to make '70s-style progressive rock in the '90s. How could you avoid infusing it with the riffs, rhythms and timbres of modern metal or techno? And if you did, how could you prevent it from sounding stale, sounding like the pastiche it was?
Miraculously, Legend achieved this - this is the equal of anything Yes, Rush, Camel, Jethro Tull, Renaissance or Steeleye Span produced in the '70s (and if you think that last name is out of place...I'm giving reference points for the sound of the album). In terms of sonic integrity it can't be faulted - there are no out-of-place synth or guitar timbres that instantly date it, it really could have come from the '70s AND been hailed as a classic in that decade. Or to put it another way, while it never sounds exactly like any of the above, it's unmistakably a product of the same mind set.
Triple Aspect is a sensationally inspired progressive structure that has the luxury of a female vocalist that takes the Annie Haslam approach head on but even more distinctively British. As with their previous albums Legend has made an exponential leap forward in sound and style. After this album Legend fell dormant and Triple Aspect was considered their swan song...
