I can understand your dislike of both, though I don't agree. Relayer was a major departure from the previous sound -- sort of "Yes on mescaline." Tormato is pleasant enough, and has some powerful tracks, esp. "On the Wings of Silent Freedom," but it's a harbinger of the lazy, lightweight material to come. As for the first two, they're without both Howe and Wakeman, and the others were still figuring out what direction they were going in. As interesting 60s Beatlesque psychedelia, they're fine, but I don't spend much time listening to them.
