A SPACE IN TIME was Ten Years After`s biggest commercial success. The reasons are pretty obvious; Alvin Lee`s songwriting had improved markedly and there was far more stylistic variety than on their previous albums.
The big hit here was "I`d Love to Change the World," with its catchy acoustic guitar hook and the immortal opening line, "Everywhere is freaks and hairies." Other highpoints include: "Baby Won`t You Let Me Rock `n` Roll You," the band`s first stab at Stones-style raunch (complete with a riff from Led Zeppelin); the country-ish romp "Once There Was a Time"; and the gently folky and surprisingly self-deprecating "Over the Hill," which features strings, a move that would have been unthinkable for this band a year or two earlier.
