Forms & Feelings was the second and final album by the Welsh power trio Love Sculpture featuring guitarist Dave Edmunds. Includes the UK No. 5 hit single Sabre Dance plus two other classically themed tracks, Mars and Farandole.

“This is the album, not the previous one. Turns out Dave Edmunds is not just that boring rockabilly guy, he's actually a guitar god. The classical covers on this prove it; the playing is superhuman at times. The whole band kills it. This album should be much, much more appreciated.”

“Sabre Dance is the most insane guitar speeded-up classical, hard rocker. As a whole I cannot think of any album that comes even close to this, hard and heavy, speed rocking guitar wise.”

“This very good long play is better than their first album. Over the top guitar and the material is better. Sabre Dance is glorious, play it loud. As good as any hard rock release from 1970.”

“Awesome psych infused rock with bluesy elements. What a great sound. Edmunds is smokin' on this album. It verges on the 'sunshine' side of psych pop but evened out with some awesome gritty bluesy riffs.”

“Second and last album by Welsh power trio Love Sculpture, led by the immensely talented guitarist Dave Edmunds who also sings and plays piano. On this album the band move away from the blues-rock direction which dominated the debut, moving into the psychedelic and progressive genres.”

“Dominated by the immense success of their single, Sabre Dance, a worldwide hit, the band recorded two more arrangements of classical pieces: Gustav Holst's Mars and Georges Bizet's Farandole, all exceptional showcases for Edmunds' spectacular guitar playing. The album turned out to be a classic and serves as a great document of the era.”

“This album shows that they really were a class act. They tackle a variety of styles, from the almost heavy metal version of Holst's Mars through to light pop. They do them all superbly; it seems they could turn their hand to anything. The standout throughout is Edmonds’ incendiary guitar work.”
