I've never listened to their music, but would like to explore some of it. What
albums would you folks recommend, and what are your feelings about The ENID in general? |

I really enjoy their music, but it's very much an acquired taste. It's very romantic, full of waltzes and over-the-top sweeping symphonic passages, interspersed with beautiful piano interludes and energetic progressive rock sections of some complexity. It can be extremely beautiful at times, and irritating at others. The music is very well composed and professionally executed. They're certainly no amateurs. To start off with, I'd recommend either "In the Region of the Summer Stars" or "Touch Me". They're both instrumental and probably the closest of all their albums to the standard progressive rock sound of the mid-seventies.

That's a pretty good description ... but I'm really hating my Enid experience ... regretting buying Aerie Faerie Nonsense ... one of the most annoying releases in my prog collection, I'm afraid ------------- "Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love! Death to hope?" thunders the 20th century. "Surrender, you pathetic dreamer.” "No" replies the unhumbled optimist "You are only the present." |
