Although Sweet Child is usually cited as the group's high-water mark, Basket of Light finds them at their most progressive and exciting. Highlights of this album -- which actually reached the Top Five in the U.K. -- include the buzzing jazz dynamics of &Light Flight,& their moving rendition of the traditional folk song &Once I Had a Sweetheart,& their reinvention of the girl group smash &Sally Go Round the Roses,& and &Springtime Promises,& one of their finest original tunes.
