SCHEHERAZADE AND OTHER STORIES

I just spend 37 euro on the japanese version of this album, but it's worth every cent. What a wonderfull record. The only reason to hate Renaissance is because you find them to poppy, and not progressive enough. If so, buy this album and find a beautifull example of symphonic rock. The opening of the first song, named Trip to the fair, is astonishing good. Very nice piano playing and a very good song. The other song on this album that makes it worth buying is the title track. It's a over 20 min suite about scheherazade. It's beautifull asian sound is just magnificent, and futhermore it's a varied farytale you just have to hear. Essential.
