"The Roaring Silence" is an album released in 1976 by Manfred Mann's Earth Band. Like other Earth Band albums, this includes material by other composers. "Blinded by the Light", which reached number one in "Billboard's" Hot 100, is a cover version of a track by Bruce Springsteen; "Questions" is based on the main theme of Franz Schubert's Impromptu in G flat Major [ Südwestrundfunk page on "The Roaring Silence" [http://www.swr.de/swr1/rp/musik/meilenstein/-/id=1949936/nid=1949936/did=2689352/1jrtizh/index.html] (in German, checked 03/11/08)] ; "Starbird" takes its theme from Igor Stravinsky's ballet The Firebird.
