Mirthrandir - For You The Old Women 1976 (USA, Symphonic Prog) Full Album

Mirthrandir biography
MIRTHRANDIR was an obscure progressive band from New Jersey formed in 1973 during the heyday of YES. This band played a complex and elaborated music based on breaks, contrasts and refinement. There are plenty of vintage Moog's and Hammond organs. The flute is also an interesting addition to the sound. The group subtly mixed influences of GENTLE GIANT, KING CRIMSON, UK, YES and EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER.
"For You The Old Women" is an album of progressive rock with flute, keyboards, long tracks and lots of rhythm changes. Led by keyboards and guitar, the compositions are all very much in the traditional "prog" style, with alternating moods, shifting time changes, and competent vocals that remind of Derek Shulman of GENTLE GIANT at times. This is an album that grows on you with each repeated listening. One of the best American progressive rock albums of the 70's.

EXTREMELY good album, full of ideas, greatly arranged and performed. Only, it's not the prog I enjoy: too free form for my taste, as I do not like when a song goes everywhere harmonically, or it's frantic. Thank you very much for one more interesting upload.

Mirthrandir is the elvish name for Gandalf (lord of the rings) if you didn't know. Amazing stuff to listen to in the morning with a tea. Cheers!
