Early Prog Rock Classic

Chris Gerbig | Ontario, Canada | 09/03/2000

(4 out of 5 stars)

"A great early British progressive rock album. Mellotron and keyboard lovers will delight in this one! STRONGLY recommended to all fans of old KING CRIMSON and THE MOODY BLUES. "Introduction" has got to be one of the coolest "Jesus rock" songs ever written!!! (In fact Paul (Sandy)Davis later sang on the Jesus Christ Superstar album). From there, we move on to the classically tinged art rock of "Heaven" (with great atmospheric mellotron and guitar) which asks us: "Do you have a clean mind?" and "Hell" (with much King Crimsonish chaos). The closing tracks are full of classical music and mind-bending elements and pomp. If prog rock's what floats your boat, Gracious are one of the finest examples from the early 70's. A much overlooked band."

Some of the most amazing music ever

"I heard this album because of a friend who was actually alive when this first came out (I was born in 73!). The first time I heard it, it blew my mind. I recommend this to anyone who is interested in exploring something different and who has an ear for intelligent music."
