Strictly from memory, I think this one never got a release at the time. These two albums have charming art cover (although somewhat naive ) that suits well the music . The players (all from the city of Mons) were a little too tender to attack this Tolkien world with full blown prog so they sound rather proto-neo-prog. This second album is however not very well recorded as (again I amnot sure of this) they were only demos.

Dragon is not to be mistaken for the New Zealand group that released a few albums , some of those early ones could be interesting to progheads.

Yes, Hugues remembered right, this was released "posthumously". The tracks were recorded at the practise room, so this album is more like a good demo recording released a vinyl. I still think it's a quite interesting piece of work, not very accesible though, but there are great musical passages to be found from this, if one has the will to listen though it. There's lot's of mellotrons, flutes and saxes used to create thier sound.

The B-side of the album felt more interesting to me than the other one, having two long tracks. "Red Light" starts with a beautiful, calm and lyrical piano part, which transforms to a chaotic verse with heavily distorted guitars and screaming vocals. These two elements are tied together with mellotron and trumpet driven parts, and they form an interesting and a weird track. "Kalahen" runs for eighteen minutes, but is quite unbalanced for an epic piece, still containing great musical moments. I personally don't get a feeling of neo-prog from this album, but it feels more like a psychedelic symphonic music. But if you are interested in rare euro-prog, you like musical adventures and collect unerground albums, I'll recommend this album to you!
