Cherry Five - Cherry Five FLAC download

Another Goblin parallel work is the mighty Cherry Five album released in 1975. Even if it's not particularly representitive of the Italian prog sound, the LP is a genuine rarity due to the great world success Goblin achieved with some of their soundtrack works, and is in many collectors' want lists. A keyboard based album, sung in English, Cherry Five has strong influences by the likes of Genesis and Yes, especially in the fluid keyboard parts and powerful bass sound. A classic, and a continuous seller. 180 gram vinyl, gatefold cover. It’s the long deleted ltd LP reissue (500 copies) on „Amber Soundroom“ recod label…This mysterious session group was in fact the nucleus of Goblin in disguise, collaborating with the duo Tartani and Bordini. The album was, according to the cover, recorded from April to June 1975, chronologically placing it in between the first 2 Goblin albums. The original LP is extremely rare! The album is in fact excellent, with equal shares of guitar-ridden heavy progressive and keyboard and keyboard-based classical rock. No track is shorter than 7 minutes! Some of the vocal arrangements (occasionally multi-voiced) are in fact close to contemporary Yes (listen to "The Picture Of Dorian Gray"). All songs are sung in English, making this a great album choice for those who enjoy 1972-75 English symphonic rock (or even the rediscovered American groups Yezda Urfa, Mirthrandir or Pentwater).
