Magic Dragon - Fantasy Suite (1976)

The one and only album from this band from USA.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

The band had help from a saxophone player and a choir.

Nothing is known about this band. They released this album on an obscure label and someone then put it out on Youtube and labeled it progressive rock.

Hence this review.

The music is a mix of pomp rock, disco and some ELP like symphonic prog.

It is a mixed bag in other word. The smell, make that stench of cheese is pretty well noted throughout this forty minutes long album. The music and the suite arrangements is.... well, cheesy.

The vocals is OK.

The result is a half decent album and one album who deserve to remain obscure.
