Prog-Rock month ....another one....

[Laguna Rising]

I heard so many good tracks here, composed for the Kvr contest. As you probably know, this month's theme was : Flashback - 70's prog-rock.
I tried to do something in that fashion, too

here it is : Pale dragon returns

..hope you like it !

Cheers

Laguna, I'm diggin that grainy organ, its perfect
bit of Gentle Giant coming through
nice moogish lead there, very inventive wheel work to man
such a true arrangement of the day, coolness

enjoyed to the fullest extent of the law

Hi Laguna,

a lot of great stuff in this track. There is this Camel and Caravan feeling. Today i was up in the mountains. I always get this 70's softprogmood, when i'm there, watching meadows, clouds and sheep. Your song reminds me of that.

Thanks a lot for the nice words, guys 
To enter the contest I needed to put into the track every 'cliche' of this kind of music
I was afraid it could be to cheesy...
I'm glad you enjoyed it

Cheers

Not cheesy for me...I enjoyed every bit of it. The arrangement is excellent/authentic. You "got it" pretty well!

[Laguna Rising]

Thanks Fred !
I'm glad you like it, I tried to make it sound more 'analog' than I usually do. Probably the drums volume is a bit too high for the 70's standard (I mean... too loud). They use to let prevail vocals or guitars and keybds in the mix.
Anyway I'm rather happy with it. Thanks everyone for the kind words.

Cheers

I think you've copied that seventies sound very well. The first part reminds me of some early Traffic songs which is one of my favourite sixties bands.  Nice work.

I listened and loved it.  great synths, and organ sounds.  all the other posters took what i was going to say.  Just know I listened and loved it.

[Laguna Rising]

I'm a big fan of early 70's prog and this definitely has that vibe. I heard elements of "Yes", "ELP" and early "Genesis". The synth solo's were very reminisent of rick wakeman and the hammond brought to mind Keith Emerson.  The melotron sound in the early part was very Genesis.  Great playing and arranging skills demonstrated here. Enjoyed this a lot. Excellent.

Thanks a lot for your kind words Blipp. I'm glad you liked this track, and although it did only #13 as contest result I'm happy with it, and I had fun making it.

I liked this a lot

Very beautiful Synth solo and alternation of melodies..
I also loved the Drums... Are they real, or VST?
