Some of the early members have left and been replaced and GE's sound has taken a turn for the worse. This is an earlier recording with the original group.
This was an enormously talented band.
I think "Twilight Zone" and the Eagles' "Hotel California" have some of the best instrumentation in rock. The drum here is especially well played.
When I hear "Twilight Zone" I am tranported back to the early 1980s on Tarague Beach, Guam. This is one of my most favorite places in the world. I would go to the beach about supper time when it was empty. I was in my own perfect world with beach towel, headphones and music, a book and a coke. I would have Twilight Zone blasting over and over again. It doesn't get any better. I never tired of picking out the many layers of orchestration in that song. I am not a huge fan of GE's other music although I can listen to it.
