ALBUM REVIEW
Debut album by the legendary British Prog group Renaissance, founded in 1969 by ex-Yardbirds vocalist / harmonica player Keith Relf and drummer Jim McCarthy. Joined by keyboardist John Hawken and bassist Louis Cennamo and fronted by female vocalist Jane Relf, Renaissance soon became the epitome of the emerging Progressive Rock and this amazing debut album was destined to become a cornerstone of the genre. A perfect mixture of Classical Music, with long acoustic piano cadencas, Jazz, Folk and Rock, the album's beautiful melodies and innovative atmosphere of mystery and grandeur created, perhaps for the first time, the splendor of Prog at its best. There's little need to expand about this album, as in time it has become an absolute classic and any Prog fan wouldn't consider this album not being included in his collection. An absolute must!
