The crossfading of Roger's voice into the saxophone was perfectly executed, but Raf Ravenscroft's style was a little too contemporary for that album. They ignored everything that was going on in popular music and made an otherwise timeless album, but that sax is as dated as the political references and ethnic slurs scattered throughout.
