Supertramp – Free as a Bird (1987)

Free as a Bird is the ninth studio album by the English rock band Supertramp, released in October 1987.

The album was a turn of direction of sorts, with most of the songs stepping back from their progressive rock sound, employing synthesised dance beats and rhythms.
