reception
Solar Music - Live is considered an important live album from the heyday of progressive rock and a classic of the band. Horst Straske from Babyblauen Seiten thinks that “rough cuts sound here in the 21st century in sound elements that are pioneering at the time, and they have achieved an optimal balance of epic-symphonic structures and a well thought-out talent for improvisation”. The music magazine eclipsed took Solar Music - Live in its list of the 150 most important prog albums.
