3 stars THE ENID is a unique band that most thoroughly fused classical romanticism with rock but sometimes closer to musical and "new age" (similar to VANGELIS). Harmonized vocals in "Summer" and "Elephants Never Die" remind me also of QUEEN (although the lead vocal is less pleasant).

The music on this album is brilliant but overall it sounds too saccharine and long-winded. Bonus tracks rarely represent the best material but this time we have an exception - "The Song of Fand" is a live performance of symphonic epic and clearly the best track.

After listening to their masterpiece "in the Region of the Summer Stars" it's hard to give "The Spell" a higher rating but all their discography contains some worthy music.
