Summer in Greece

What's not to like here? Brightness and darkness alternating to create a bright, yet sometimes stormy canvas. A recipe well written by Anglagard, Gryphon and Gentle Giant and Ciccada took good notes. A fresh, pastoral and estival blend of 3 of my favorite bands of all time; a delicious banquet of folk-rock that should interest those liking medieval/renaissance moods.

It's way (like WAY) above your average stuff, especially for a first delivery. The amount of skills needed to play something that remotely resembles Gryphon is very high. That alone is a feat in itself, I swear we hear seasoned, old bearded proggers of another era. Tasty flute, crytalline singing, wise use of piano and mellotron (meaning just the right dose), Rickenbacker bass and skillful acoustic guitar-a-plenty. At the risk of repeating myself: light, darkness, petals and storms. Impressive.

Damn, feels like vacation in Thassos!
