STAINED GLASS STORIES

Cathedral - Stained Glass Stories

I will have to agree with Ivan Melgar M review, this is probably the best 70s symphonic album from USA. But I would call it Eclectic Prog. No, this is not the doom/death metal Cathedral. And you must admit they're far better. Oh, how overlooked it is.

Do you feel bored? Did you heard all of the top prog archives album list and think you can't find anything really "new" interesting from the prog golden age? Then it's time for Stained Glass Stories! The stunning multi-layered capacity of this recording makes my nose bleed as an afraid puppy pissing. Every track here is lenghty, electric but trippy, full of creative unique, authentic songwriting. There were the Yes vibe, and Gentle Giant vibe, and Genesis, and King Crimson. They were different to each other. Cathedral has another different atmosphere. And this album is... flawless. The bass riffs plus the guitar licks are what I love the most. Even symphonic, they're not afraid of dissonance and breaking rules. I believe Stained Glass Stories could please every kind of prog fan, and it reaches that kind of PA top album from the 70s, but unfortunatelly they're another lost gem in the holy archives.
