MIRTHRANDIR ~ FOR YOU THE OLD WOMEN SYN-PHONIC 06 ~ USA ~ Progressive Rock Recorded: 1975 Released: 1992 Only album by US Prog group MirthrandirFind albums by this artist, a rare lost gem from 1970s, brought back to life on this CD reissue. The band was a sextet comprising of two guitarists, a keyboards player, a bassist, who also played flute, a drummer and a vocalist, who also plays some trumpet parts. The music is typical Symphonic Prog, with good melodies and extensive instrumental passages. The lead singer´s falsetto voice was often criticized as the group´s only weakness, but in fact it is quite good and certainly not more annoying than other vocalists in Prog with similar voice characteristics. The music is overall excellent, with multi-part expanded lengthy tracks, one timing almost 15 minutes. Considering the fact that the US contribution to Prog was quite limited, this is definitely one of the better efforts of its kind. Prog fans will definitely love this album to bits.
