THE SPELL

The ENID are one of those "Hate em or Love em" type of bands with this music lover camping on the "love em" side. This was the 6th album from Robert John Godfrey and Stephen Stewart mixing 6 wonderful symphonic tracks and 1 killer live 20 min epic "Song Of Fand". As with all of The ENID's music we are treated to a real collaboration of classical, symphonic and rock genres. Both Godfrey and Stewart perform keyboards and synths with these dominating the album. The overall feel is very lush and tranquil with some grand swoops and mystical melodies. At this time in their career, The ENID had added full time member David Storey (drums) as well. Vocals for the ENID are quite interesting with the fine lead vocals of Godfrey and the background 1950's sounding harmonies.

Overall "The Spell" is a great little album with some very creative art rock and progressive musical moments.
