*. Saga (Holland) .*

Album: To Whom it Concerns (1979)
Genre: Symphonic Prog (Neo Prog/Folk)  /  Holland

The Godfather of the Dutch neo progressive movement. Long before IQ and Marillion were reinventing the Genesis model for the 1980s, and even before the German school (Ivory, Neuschwanstein), Saga took on the task of replicating the "Foxtrot" sound. Countless bands on the former SI label and continuing today on InsideOut, Musea and Cyclops can point to Saga as a band who pioneered this trail for our friends in The Netherlands. Lots of mellotron here, which unfortunately is something that the neo's were keen to get away from. It's not a bad example of the genre, not as inspired as the German school like Sirius' "Running to Paradise" or Ivory's "Sad Cypress", but better than most of the Dutch Genesis imitators I can think of. On the same label as Kracq (United Artist Productions). 
Review by "ashratom" (Rate Your Music).

RATING:  8.5 / 10   **MARVELLOUS**
