FLAME DREAM-CALATEA, LP, 1980, SWITZERLAND


Damn fine Swiss proggy prog with some distinct jazzy leanings and nary a trace of neo prog trivialization about it, despite the late sell-by date for this sort of full blown sympho-proggin' activity. True, the most common signifiers (post-Genesis pastoralism and multi-tiered Yes harmonies) are both plainly in evidence here, but there's also a sorta post Dutch prog angle ala Pantheon, Solution and Supersister and a densely articulated horn-y symphonism akin to early Gnidrolog at work here as well. Certainly lots of fascination to untangle for the right set of ears here...

  2. Very fun! They so want to be Peter-Gabriel-era Genesis with Yes vocals, and they get pretty close. Thanks!
