Fantasy - Icy River (1973)

From their first album Paint a Picture (1973).

The British band Fantasy released two albums in the early '70s of predominantly pastoral progressive rock. Originally called FireQueen, the group was comprised of Paul Lawrence (vocals, guitar), David Metcalfe (keyboards), and Dave Read (bass). Their first album was Paint a Picture (1973), a mellow and imaginative collection of song-based material that featured a heavy use of acoustic guitars, Hammond organs, and pianos. In 1974, the band recorded Beyond the Beyond, which was not released until 1992. The album saw the group expanding their sound into more quintessential progressive material while remaining true to the pastoral sound of their debut.

BE WARNED

The shitty little record company that owns the rights to this is on a removal rampage. The removed my Fantasy vids and gave me an account suspension warning. You'd think that after three plus decades they'd be pathetically grateful for some exposure but no. They seem determined to wreck everyone's enjoyment for enough lost royalties to purchase half a mars bar. Ignorant bastards.
