Eyes Of Blue - In Fields Of Ardath

[effi_deep]

is the eyes of blue lp "in fields of ardath" a cool one to grab? sort of psych prog rock i've heard. comparable to another band i might know?

I had the USA pressing years ago & rue getting rid of it as it is right up my street now, from memory.

I remember it being a bit disappointing. I'll try and dig it out this evening and give it a spin and report back...

Well I dug it out and honestly can't recommend it - it doesn't really hang together, it's got annoying tempo shifts in some of the songs, and the organ player seems to favour the 'church' and 'icerink' settings more than the 'screaming funky hammond'. The vocalist sounds a little bit like Roger Chapman at times, and there's a slight moody blues edge overall, but it still sounds like a pop band adjusting to prog, rather than a prog band going pop, if you see what I mean. My copy's on the trades pile now....
