Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2016. Out of the 4 albums of theirs i've heard so far ('Road Island' is import only....bummer), this is the best. Ambrosia's second album was worth the wait back in the day.
The band loves, hates it, and depends on it for survival. As it's been mentioned, this can be contributed to Alan Parsons, who produced this album. The original LP had a cool jacket which could be folded (without damage) to form a pyramid. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. It also analyzes reviews to verify trustworthiness. He's not only a great producer/engineer (worked on Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon"), but has a great ear for what makes a record sound its best.
But their first two albums were great, and this one is their masterpiece. David Pack, the founder and lead singer of Ambrosia, has demonstrated through the years, his virtuosity, talent, vocal finesse and creative imagination. Their first album showed a lot of promise and this album delivered on it. It doesn't get much better than this from a so-called "rock" group. !Do yourself a big favor and (Re)discover this highly over-looked album and band known mostly for their a.m.radio hits!ENJOY!!
None of its singles charted on the Billboard Hot 100. This was not duplicated on the CD version, but it couldn't be done with a standard jewel case, and after all, it is a budget-priced CD, so I won't complain too much. It is evidenced here with Alan Parsons'help in one of the more interesting albums from the mid-seventies.
And the closing cut, "We Need You Too" is absolutely gorgeous.
But it's what lies between that really shines. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. "Cowboy Star", with its Rodgers and Hammerstein-like instrumental break, is absolutely awesome. Somewhere I've Never Travelled is the second album by Ambrosia, and their final album on 20th Century Fox Records, released in 1976. I really don't think it sold too well when it was originally released-- probably because it was over a lot of people's heads musically. After this album the band degenerated into baically a bland, syrupy pop group (probably under pressure from their new label), and unfortunately that's how they're remembered by a lot of people. They covered TONS of musical territory with ease,all in the guise of 'popular music'! Having been produced by Alan Parsons (which may help to explain the pyramid connection), the sound is outstanding.
It's a bit challenging to listen to-- but the most "difficult" songs, notably "Cowboy Star" and "Danse With Me George" will probably become your favorite cuts in the long run. I was 10 years' old. There are also a couple of great rockers on the album, and both of them received some radio play. Somewhere I've Never Travelled: Ambrosia, Ambrosia: Amazon.ca: Music. Please try again.

I've owned this on vinyl since the 70's. Ambrosia would go on to make several more albums, all attempts at being commercially viable but none were as cohesive as this brilliant work. It is a much-unheralded sonic masterpiece that is once again available after far too long.
