“Arabia” is one of the true forgotten gems of classic heavy metal- I never thought of it as being in Crimson Glory style (although I guess it does recall “Strange and Beautiful” a bit but I’m sure that’s not the one you meant lol), more thought of it as a metal version of zeppelin’s Kashmir with the whole middle eastern theme going on. Obviously the rest of their songs didn’t have that eastern feel but it was still kick ass hard rock/metal and Arjen was on fire back then and it laid the foundation for what he did later on with Ayreon for sure.

Arabia is an excellent song, and the album is quite good as a whole as well. Never ever thought of Crimson Glory though.

My faves would be the 1st one, s/t from 1984, quite Saxon-like at times, and 1989's Arabia. But they released a good deal of good hard rocking stuff over their career.
