This is the fifth album of Supertramp, released in 1977. The group had just left his native England and settled in the United States, in Los Angeles, and this record will be recorded between LA and Colorado (the Caribou Studios) as evidenced by the beautiful and famous pocket with the piano under the snow, "performed without special effects." After the commercial and artistic success of "Crime Of The Century" and the relative decline of the regime pessimistic "Crisis ... What Crisis?", The band released with "Even ..." one of her best albums. We find this typical blend of pop and lightweight titles (though few, just two here: "Give A Little Bit" and "Babaji") to melancholy ballads ("Downstream", "Lover Boy") and beaches to buildings more "progressive" (the best album in my opinion): "Even In The Quietest Moments", the dense instrumentation (guitar, organ, clarinet, synthesizer, etc.), "From Now On", and his saxophone choirs, and finally after ten minutes "Fool's Overture" on war, human folly, the end of the world ... "Even In The Quietest Moments" is a very romantic album, nostalgic, inspired (if a little less consistent than the previous two, in my opinion, especially "Crime ..."), with a classical piano particularly present in which Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies (with complementary voice) share the lead voice (as on all albums until their separation) and the last before the most commercial that will start the next turn, the famous and excellent "Breakfast In America" , incredible collection of tubes and true "best of" all by himself, which will win the global success that we know and that will Supertramp a global mega-star, at least until "... famous last words. .. ".
