SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Prog-Folk Team

The group clearly has a lot of raw talent, with the raw operative reflecting sheer ability as well as a certain raggedness. Keyboards and guitars shine in their turn, with "Survive" and "The Load" providing fine examples of each respectively. Both "For Whom" and "Fallen Leaves" demonstrate a folk lineage without automatically invoking TULL - in fact Strawbs might be a better reference point circa "Bursting.." or "Hero..". These are lovely ballads that presage what Mostly Autumn would deliver a decade or so later, although the lead guitars are less distorted than those of Bryan Josh, and the interplay of the members speaks to a familial harmony that MA could never muster. "The Vice" invokes Nektar's more mellow work.
While many other high points abound, I just want to signal "Tunnel Vision" as representative of their more commercial side in a favourable rock and roll manner. For longer more developed tunes, "Ophelia" and "The Vice" take center stage and should appeal to most here. Some of the tracks are uneven and seem to run out of steam ("The Load" and "Dig Them Mushrooms"), while "The Red Room" and "Mountain" suggest that the band didn't have enough best of material to fill 80 minutes.
HAZE was obviously an engaging group whose fuzzy vision of 70s prog blended with the realities of the 80s. They represent a sunny footnote to a dark paragraph in our history, which in the end isn't a bad legacy.
