Renaissance- Faeries (Living At The Bottom Of The Garden)

[rufus566]

2/5th of the band are not represented here and neither is the bands former glory (or spirit). Trying to survive in a New Wave world when you don't care for said New Wave can lead to disaster. Good pop tunes, not so good Renaissance tunes.

Saw this band in it's prime and on the "disco Annie Tour" promoting Camera Camera. So sad the direction they took. There were enough blondie wannabees out in the market - why did they even try to be something they weren't? I will always remember and promote their memory to youngsters - but not this stuff! Long live the material before this "commercial"phase...

Camera- Camera the last of their albums I bought, only heard it a time or two... The copy I had had too many crackles and side 2, IIRC, was entirely in mono. Took it back to the store & they didn't have replacement copy. At the time I wasn't too disappointed by this. --Maybe it would have grown on me, but didn't seem up to even Azure d' Or standards. ...Hearing 'Faeries...' tonight, not bad.

@ozricstormbringer Michael Scott is the author of the Nicolas Flamel series(The Alchemyst, The Magician, The Sorceress, The Necromancer, The Warlock). p.s. Melting Euphoria is similar to Ozric Tentacles and Gong.

annie haslam that was terriffic

[gtristdan]

This is from 'Camera, Camera' isn't it?

[londonbangkok]

Correct

The 'Camera Camera' album was a disappointment to most Renaissance fans but Ochiki San and Tyrant Tula were not so bad.

[Ocelot59468]

The title track was pretty good as well, although Okichi-San was the best.

[londonbangkok]

I agree , it was not a bad 'album' - but after the brilliance of Prologue, Ashes are Burning, Turn of the Cards, Scheherezade, Novella and Song for all Seasons it was not that good. I still have hours of pleasure listening to these CDs , having worn out the LPs. Tuscany, released in 2000 was much better than Camera IMHO and i never did here 'Timeline' that followed Camera.

In person, Annie is like a "living angel", and even when exhausted from touring they came through like real troopers and always put on a great show!

@Yogizuna Michael Tsarion is the worlds premier conspiracy researcher/lecturer/author. Dr. Bill Deagle, Leo Zagami, Jordan Maxwell and Alexandre Dumas pere are highly informative as well. p.s. Melting Euphoria is similar to Ozric Tentacles and Gong

She looks like a very sexy angel there.
