Slowboat is a spectacular pop song from the pirouetting vocal line to the that plodding 70s pop piano and soaring chorus of 'sail me far away from you' to the oscillating Moog cadenza that makes me feel dizzy and sea sick; it's a slick soft rock ballad from the increasingly quirky theatrical pomp rock band who specialise in their very own brand of Euro-prog pop.

Sparks (1972) Slowboat - LOST 70s GEMS
I already covered this debut album by sparks when it was released under the moniker Halfnelson in 71 before a 1972 re-release; I am covering the albums' best song that I never even mentioned in the prior post here;http://lost70sgems.blogspot.com/2018/11/halfneson-1972-biology-2-lost-70s-gems.html
