Paton and Bairnson, now solely a duo, decided to collaborate with Alan Parsons one more time when it came to recording their last effort as Pilot, Two's a Crowd. The result was a highly-merited pop product, afar from the early chart oriented sound. Again recorded at Abbey Road Studios session musicians such as Trevor Spencer (drums), Henry Spinetti (drums) and keyboarder Steve Swindells. In fact, Two's a Crowd strongly reminds of some of APP's best moments (which would suit with rumors that Paton and Bairnson had a much greater impact on the compositions as they were officially credited to).

“What is to be heard and experienced is not only of value for its high standard of documentation, but also for the rare music which it contains” (Die Zeit)

Elliott Murphy credited his 1984 album Party Girls & Broken Poets to "Elliott Murphy and Band." His 1986 album is credited solely to Elliott Murphy, but he poses with the members of his band – bassist Ernie Brooks, drummer Jesse Chamberlain, and keyboardist Art Labriola – on the cover, and Brooks and Labriola get some co-writing credits on the songs. The prominence given the group is significant, just as the title is. Milwaukee is simply the name of the city in which the album was recorded, but that's reflective of Murphy's life at the moment, playing in a band and traveling from town to town. That life takes its toll clearly, as is reflected in some of the songs on the LP's first side. Murphy likes to write in the third person, as if his songs are musical short stories, but that gives him a frame for autobiography, and songs like "People Don't Listen," "Out for the Killing," and "Niagara Falls" paint a portrait of a man who may have been on the road too long, and who certainly has drunk too much liquor while paying too little attention to his relationships.

CRESSIDA were an excellent band of early British symphonic progressive scene. Their sound is mostly dominated by the most beautiful and symphonic Hammond organ (dirty, and mellow), piano, bass, guitar, and drums. The instrumental sections are equally good, and tend to be typical of early 70s English prog rock. Thanks to the captivating atmospheres and the technical ability of the musicians. Similar bands include FANTASY, BEGGARS' OPERA, CIRKUS, GRACIOUS, and SPRING. Both CRESSIDA albums are excellent and very rare now (both were original Vertigo "Swirls"). Their self-titled debut is an early seventies forgotton classic with delicate vocals, gobs of organ and acoustic guitar. CRESSIDA's second "Asylum" is the best of the genre represented by BEGGARS' OPERA, SPRING, FANTASY, FRUUPP, and many more.
