GRYPHON Raindances (The Transatlantic Recordings 1973-1975)

Popis:

One of the most original groups to emerge in the Progressive era, Gryphon came together at the instigation of Royal College of Music students Richard Harvey and Brian Gulland, initially as a vehicle to fuse traditional English music with Medieval and Renaissance music influences. Gryphon released their eponymous debut album in June 1973, adorned in a striking cover designed by Dan Pearce. The uniqueness of their musical style led to a commission to write a score for a stage production of The Tempest in 1974, parts of which formed the band’s next album, 'Midnight Mushrumps', released in April 1974. By this time bass guitarist Philip Nestor had joined the fold, and the band began to explore more progressive influences (with the album’s title track being an 18 minute opus). The Progressive Rock influences became even more apparent on Gryphon’s acclaimed third album, 'Red Queen to Gryphon Three', released in December 1974.
