SCHEHERAZADE AND OTHER STORIES

If one was to own only onw Renaissance studio album, this is the one. Annie Haslam was the greatest voice of prog, and the entire band was excellent. The Song of Scheherazade was a symphonic masterpiece, 9 sums making a incredible whole. Every song on the album is brillant. A Trip to the Fair is a mind blowing journeythat just slowly builds to a full fanfare. Ocean Gypsey is one of the band's all time great songs. TheVUltures Fly High one of their more rocky, popish numbers, but still good. But mostly, its that heavenly voice of Annie.
