What Are You Listening To?

[Tiggi]

Bought in response to our very own Global Mod of the same name, who's a big fan.

This sounded OK, so I now have my first Gryphon album.

Instrumental Medieval Prog Rock of a high standard. Frequently reminded me of Yes, and also bears strong similarities to my recently rediscovered fave Prog band The Enid. Loosely based on a game of chess, apparently, but trying to visualise that was getting in the way of the music, so that was lost on me.

Can't think of many albums I own which may contain Krumhorn playing, but this is apparently certainly one !!

Good album, cheers Griff.

Allmusic 4/5 stars.
