I've noticed there are several Quasar bands. 2 from UK and both Neo-Prog
Just acquired the Quasar - Forgotten Dreams album. I cannot find any info on this band. This album only appears to be Cassette format... Any ideas please, if they released Forgotten Dreams on CD?....... However despite the quality, this album is rather good and worth checking out... This is a Neo/Prog band...

No it was just a Demo Tape. Most was rerecorded for the album "The Loreli" anyway.

Is this the same band Quasar - Loreli then, which is on this PA site?

Having looked again on the PA site, certain tracks are the same.. But no mention on the Forgotten Dreams tape... Also Quasar use a female singer, not male that's used on the demo.

Yes, when I searched (I use google) the band and album name I got results.
https://www.discogs.com/artist/2240592-Quasar-15 https://rateyourmusic.com/artist/quasar The demo hasn't been added to progarchives, but it is mentioned in a review. http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=141566
Here is some info from discogs: https://www.discogs.com/Quasar-Forgotten-Dreams/release/6235217 Tracklist 1 Seeing Stars II (The Dark Star) 2 The Laurelii 3 Men Of War 4 Logic? 5 Forgotten Dreams Credits Bass Guitar, Twelve-String Guitar Keith Turner (2) Drums Dave Wagstaffe Guitar Kevin Fitzgerald (5) Keyboards Steve Leigh Vocals Nick Williams Notes Pre-Production cassette of unreleased album. Recorded at Sound Ceremony Studios, Clerkenwell, London. Edit: I know you mention female vocals, but there were line-up changes. If you look at Quasar's debut album, Fire in the Sky, the line-up is: - David Cairns / drums - Cyrus Khajavi / guitar, guitar synthesizer - Dillon Tonkin / organ, synthesizers - Keith Turner / bass, bass pedals, acoustic & electric guitars - Paul Vigrass / lead vocals QUASAR was formed in 1979 by founder Keith Turner and he's a constant.

No problem.
In case this topic has piqued anyone's curiosity, "QUASAR play the title track from the unreleased 1987 album 'Forgotten Dreams'". |

This is just an early version of a track that was renamed into "As You Fall Asleep..." on the album "The Loreli".

Then perhaps it will be of interest to some people who enjoy The Loreli. Incidentally, I like CDs which include earlier and alternate versions as bonus tracks such as Dün's Eros |
