Really we didn’t get another group non-seasonal album until 2001’s As Time Goes By. Some of the memorable tracks on ATGB are You’re Just In Love, Without A Song, Dizzy Fingers & Carpenters/Como Medley where Richard shares the lead with Karen only or others (or Dizzy Fingers was a throwback to Heather & Flat Baroque while You’re Just In Love was a throwback to Crystal Lullaby & Do You Hear What I Hear?, and the Medley was a throwback to the Now & Then Medley).
I have to wonder what Horizon, A Kind of Hush, Passage, Made In America, Voice of the Heart & Lovelines would’ve sounded like if there had been one piano track by Richard on those albums if he didn’t want to do a vocal. I think the inclusion of Dizzy Fingers or You’re Just in love on MIA would’ve made a difference and maybe the opening of side 2 would’ve had more impact if You’re Just In Love led off that side that it did with I Believe You.
I still kind of surprised that I’m the 80’s to 2000’s, Richard didn’t include new instrumentals on the numerous compilations that were issued. That would’ve been interesting to have picked up a new compilation CD and find a new Richard instrumental. Or the odd new vocal.
