Post Description

Studio Album, released in 1997


In 1996, hitherto unknown guitarist Danny Chang assembled a group of musician-friends with the desired purpose of creating an album featuring the obstinate use of vintage instruments associated with the glory years, in a modern vein in view of the burgeoning prog renaissance. On board for this project, the accomplished ROBERT REED (Cyan , Magenta) on luscious keyboards, DOUG SINCLAIR( Hackett) on galloping bass, the steady beat provided by TIM ROBINSON (the Daily Planet), Ezra"s ANDY EDWARDS handling the mike duties as well as adding some axe parts and a merry troupe of guests on violin, cello, sax, flute, oboe etc...Though certainly not earth shattering ear-candy, this is nevertheless very pleasant prog with liberal doses of Celtic touches, splendid melodies and imaginative playing with each track flowing into another. No wonder that our dear Sean "Le Misanthrope" Trane dislikes it, it"s too boring !!!!God bless him anyway. This one shot project is stylistically more intrepid than Cyan, less commercially accessible than Magenta and less flamboyant than Jadis or IQ. But it has a little aura that exudes charm and hence admiration.
