Gracious had already disbanded at the time of the release of their second album. That’s a shame, cause “This is…Gracious!” remains one of the finest British symphonic progressive rock albums from the early 70?s. It surpasses even their strong debut and their sound had become tighter and more energetic. Next to Spring’s debut, this is probably also one of the most mellotron-drenched progressive rock albums.
The instrument is present in the sound all the way through, playing powerful riffs or just creating a mighty floating carpet of delightful sound in the background. The first side of the album consists of a fantastic 20+ minute suite called “Super Nova”. It starts quite experimental and atmospheric, almost sounding like something from an Amon Düül II improvisation. However, when the track really starts we’re soon taken over on British ground again with the coolest and most powerful mellotron-sound you can imagine. The suite varies from rocking progressive not too far from early mellotron-drenched King Crimson and to beautiful acoustic parts before it builds up to a wonderful finale where the mellotron and a beautiful organ-sound gives any listener with good taste goosebumps. This is simply progressive rock so good and perfect as it can get.
It’s actually supposed to be a five movement suite, but one of them had go on side two because it couldn’t all fit on the original LP.
The remaining three tracks on side 2 is in a slightly different vein. A quite unique combination of energetic 70?s rock and symphonic progressive arrangements where the mellotron is used in a very original way. Striking stuff! (vintageprog.com/sakalli.info)
