RED QUEEN TO GRYPHON THREE

A purely instrumental affair that should appeal to fans of classical music. The rock or pop elements I enjoy in Progressive Rock are simply not found on this album. It's like playing a well arranged version of literal classical music. While Gryphon was trying to obtain this sound, it is one that I do not find engaging. It's more then the lack of vocals that does this, it is the compositions themselves.

Overall I think the general sound of Gryphon is somewhere in between Gentle Giant and Happy The Man. Really a fine album, just one that my ears attuned moreso to Canterbury Scene and Crossover find dull.
