This one comes from the CDRWL, though it's a title I've owned since the mid 90s. For my tastes, this is an album that continues to rise and I enjoyed a +1 listen earlier in the month.
Falstaff's sole album is a light, easy going, instrumental symphonic rock. A little funk, and a little jazz to spruce things up. Recalls Camel, or perhaps more to the point, Rousseau's first two albums. The usual French compressed fuzz guitar sound, and a preponderance of Fender Rhodes helps matters. For those who enjoy their progressive rock with an emphasis on melody versus showmanship.
Ownership: LP: 1981 private. Single sleeve. Acquired in a trade from a well known Belgian dealer (1994).
No reissues exist as of 6/10/24.

It's been some time! I will break it out! I did listen to Ocharina not too long ago. For some reason they are bound together in my mind. I think I heard about them around the same time. I do remember Steve Roberts was very fond of them and had given me his thoughts. He may have even had a copy of each for sale in the ZNR catalog back in the day! Fond memories of discovery and connections we were making at that time!
