What a great sounding recording for being made in 1974. I love listening to Ann Haslam sing, she has such a beautiful voice. I downloaded this recording in flac but when I tested the files to see if they were lossy it came back as MPEG 100%. I encoded the files to MP3 320kbps because I don't usually post a flac set if I know it's lossy. The only exception I usually make is if it's a recording from Satellite Radio. Satellite Radio actually broadcasts at a lossy rate, usually 256-320kbps. The only reason I make this exception is because you will never get a true lossless Satellite Radio recording. However now we seem to have more and more bootleg record labels releasing lossy CDs. Some reasons are they are recording them from lossy digital broadcast services, they are downloading them from bootleg web sites that host in MP3, or some of the modern noise reduction techniques/programs kill high end to reduce noise. Now I sit and think before deciding to not post it in flac. I still don't but I think about it. So if you get a lossy flac from me I most likely didn't test it. I actually don't always take the time to. At any rate enjoy this nice recording!

Our next post in our Tribute To Progressive Rock Bands is the British band Renaissance. Renaissance combined Rock with elements of Classical, Jazz and Folk to come up with their sound. If you liked the Curved Air show posted not to long ago you'll like Renaissance. Their some what Operatic, some what Classical approach brings to mind a Yes, E.L.P. hybrid with a female vocalist. This show had me with the epic opening track "Can You Hear Me?". It sets the tone for the next 2 hours of awesome, epic Progressive Rock.
