ReviewsMojo (Publisher) (p.138) - "[A]n ambitious but appealing classical, jazz and folk collision."
Additional informationRennaissance: Annie Haslam (vocals), Michael Dunford (acoustic guitar), Andy Powell (guitar), John Tout (keyboards, vocals), John Camp (bass, vocals), Terence Sullivan (drums, percussion, vocals). All songs written or co-written by Thatcher. With electric guitarist Andy Powell sitting in on the title track, Renaissance delivered its best, and first fully formed album, mixing Russian, French, and Indian influences in musical settings that are both lively and elegant. The title track is one of the few lengthy progressive-rock pieces of the era that holds up, and the rest of the material runs the gamut from folk ("Carpet of the Sun") to Impressionist ("At the Harbor"), all of it hauntingly beautiful and enlivening. Reissued in 1993 by One Way Records, with excellent sound. ~ Bruce Eder
