THE SLEEPER WAKES

This album shadowed by its recognized predecessor "Nova Solis" 1972 has exceeded all my expectations. Unlike "Nova Solis" (which generally speaking is a kind of "mix bag" of pop, sympho with some jazz-rock-fusion touches) here we have one of the very beautiful, uniquely formed, crafted, keyboard-driven kind of sympho-rock and jazz-rock outfits. To get a rough idea just imagine how it could be if ELP would play jazz-rock. Morgan Fisher has proofed him self as one of the most intricate keyboard wizards (Moraz-Wakeman-Emerson level). The album was tragically underrated at the time due to poor promotion. In US the album was issued in 1976 by title "Brown Out". A must for all fans of keyboard dominated type of symphonic-rock direction. Highly recommended, five stars without any doubts! Progressively yours. Dreamfish.
