Description
Heavyweight vinyl Madfish edition of the classic 1976 album from the Enid. Formed among friends in 1974, the Enid invented a school of intelligent, powerful and romantic rock music which is unique to them. The band have gone on to record 14 studio albums. Under the tutelage of Robert John Godfrey, The Enid have avoided all of the obvious traps â€“ the learned/received riff-based music which distinguishes so much rock, the well-trodden harmonic progressions, familiar melodic lines and stock-in-trade rhythms. In 2009, after a ten year break, founder members Robert John Godfrey and Dave Storey put together a new version of the band. Since then The Enid has had fantastic receptions in gigs all over the UK, in Europe and the USA. The 21st century line-up, spanning three generations, released Invicta, their latest album in 2012. This new vinyl edition of the band's debut album In the Region of the Summer Stars, is the first of a series of reissues of classic albums by the band on Madfish. Originally released in 1976 on EMI, it was feared that the masters had been lost and the band released a re-recorded reissue of the album in 1984 but this release is taken from the original tapes, later found in the vaults at Abbey Road studios. www.TheEnid.co.uk "The quintessentially English prog group." - Tim Jones, Record Collector Magazine "Pink Floyd meets the Berlin Philharmonic" - Time Out "The most majestic rock band of all time" - Band On The Wall
