LADY LAKE

Gnidrolog was and English progressive rock group with a brass section. Their second album 'Lady Lake' has received some praise over the years and is considered to be one of the bigger 'gems' of the genre. The band is a bit more folkrock than for instance Colosseum, but about as progressive. Perhaps you could name Van Der Graaf Generator as a reference, but that band has a more theatrical approach to songwriting. The whimsical and expressive Welsch vocals by Colin Goldring are both charming and a bit of nuisance at times. The band has some strong song-writing moments, but overal the record suffers from the weight of its own length and repetition. Though this is quite a unique piece of prog from '72, I found myself easily parting from it - despite the beautiful artwork the album has.
