FOR YOU THE OLD WOMEN

A classic - one of the masterpieces of 1970s North American progressive music. Complex arrangements, brilliant playing, passion, beauty - it is all here. Lots of Gentle Giant and PFM influences here, as well as good old Yes. Along with Cathedral's 'Stained Glass Stories", Yezdaurfa's "Boris" and Sacred Baboon", Babylon, Fireballet and (of course) Happy the Man - Mirthrandir deserves a special place in the ranks of progressive music, as one of the great (but sadly short-lived) bands that demonstrated that complex, intelligent music was also being produced by musicians in the U.S. The only pity is that this is extremely difficult to find these days. But, search for it - it IS worth the effort.
