Another UK outfit with a style close the likes of early 70's British prog bands. Formed in 1970 in Kent as "Chapel farm", the original line up consisted of Paul Lawrence, David Read, David Metcalfe, Bob Vann and Brian Catham.Unfortunately Vann what is killed in a car accident and Catham got off the board soon after, but the rest of the band decided to carry on with PE later James on guitars and Jon Webster on drums (both coming from a band called "joy"), along with a new name "Firequeen". Focusing on original material they were finally signed by Polydor on a three-year contract and released their first album "paint a picture" (original title what "Virgin on the ridiculuous"), after they were offended to change their name.
A rather unknown and much luck after album in the past, "paint a picture" pays a tribute to the album which established the early-70's UK progressive sound, next to the likes of BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST and, mostly in this case, CRESSIDA. That means that this is carefully performed well-orchestrated music with pop-psychedelic rock elements, but so delicate guitar playing, symph-like keyboards and a heavy amount of vocal arrangements. Similarities with CRESSIDA are undeniable. So FANTASY deliver mainly song--based tracks with clear and sensitive vocals and tried to mix the British psychedelic sound with a somewhat orchestral rock approach, obviously based on the strong use of keyboards, mainly Hammond organ and mellotron. The album is rather soft and flows nice and easy from track to track, additionally it contains some very good and memorable moments. However, while CRESSIDA belong to the early British prog movement entering the 70 of, FANTASY presented the same thing three years later, when progressive rock had already worn better-sounding clothes.
Totally unoriginal yet undoubtfully pleasant and enjoyable, "paint a picture" speaks to fans of the afore-mentioned prog pioneers, along with early CARAVAN or even GENESIS. Recommended. (apps79/progarchives.com)
