...musketeers-Oliver Reed, Richard Chamberlain, Frank Finlay and Michael York as D'Artagnan-all perform admirably.

A new tune, called "Sometime Ago" moved through several varied themes and each had a distinctly Spanish/Latin/South American tint. The first band, also called Return to Forever, had that same tint--reed man Joe Farrell, singer Flora Purim, and percussionist Airto Moreira were three-fourths of a band that lived its only album title--Light as a Feather...
