Залит Sandrose/(1972)_Sandrose

Большая редкость - единственный диск малоизвестной французской арт-рок-группы 70-х.
Достаточно интересно. Женский вокал, полный набор + меллотрон, красивые мелодии... Две вещи слегка анноят: во-первых, этот женский вокал, иной раз становится "слишком джазовым", а во-вторых, композиции хотя и красивые, но совершенно незапоминающиеся. То есть - послушал, получил удовольствие и сразу забыл. Очевидно по этой причине они и ушли в небытие.

Beautiful flowing 1972 album by this mellow French progressive band featuring superb keyboard and guitar interplay and female vocals. In places sounds a bit like Julian's Treatment and Earth And Fire. Very rare on vinyl and one of the classic '70s Europe progressive rock albums.

The major attraction within the line-up no doubt is that of vocalist Rose Podwojny, who constantly balances between the raunchy approach of a Grace Slick and that of an authentic Jazz diva. Others have placed her voice in between that of Linda Нoyle and Juliann
The dreamy "Summer Is Yonder" could well be an outtake from Focus or Pulsar, once again not being obtrusive in any way and fully composing the arrangement in favour of Rosereatment and Earth And Fire. Very rare on vinyl and one of the classic '70s Europe progressive rock albums.
All in all, this still is a wonderful album to listen to even though it has been released more than thirty years ago. Some of the sounds may be dated but the way the compositions are made still vouch for great creativity. Chauvinistic as they are, the French rate this album as being one of the worldd
