FIRE IN THE SKY

So what happens when one finds and loves an album that has been talked about over the years in nothing but negative light ? You ignore the deaf my friends... Many years back I picked up QUASAR's "The Loreli" which I did enjoy and really got to know Tracey Hitchings better. 10 years later I picked up "Fire In The Sky" which I really like. Okay I'll tell you all right upfront that this album has not been well recorded or produced and carries some sound inadequacies (transferred from vinyl), but the music will overcome this slight frown. I wont spend much space contrasting "Fire In The Sky" with "The Loreli" but just say that it is really a different beast (no Hitchings, 3 different band members) . "Fire In The Sky" dishes out some pretty lush neo-prog vibes with a sound somewhat reminiscent of IQ's "Tales From The Lush Attic" . Pretty much a prototypical 80's symphonic melodic prog rock sound, but there is something magical in this album. For me it is a winner but folks have to give it more of a chance then they have...!
