Another UK outfit with a style close the likes of early 70's British
Prog bands. Formed in 1970 in Kent as ''Chapel Farm'', the original
line-up consisted of Paul Lawrence, David Read, David Metcalfe, Bob Vann
and Brian Catham.Unfortunately Vann was killed in a car accident and
Catham got off the board soon after,but the rest of the band decided to
carry on with Peter James on guitars and Jon Webster on drums (both
coming from a band called ''Joy''), along with a new name ''Firequeen''.
Focusing on original material they were finally signed by Polydor on a
three-year contract and released their first album ''Paint a picture''
(original title was ''Virgin on the ridiculuous''), after they were
offended to change their name.
A rather unknown and much sought-after album in the past ,''Paint a
picture'' pays a tribute to the albums which established the early-70's
UK Progressive sound, next to the likes of BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST and,
mostly in this case, CRESSIDA.That means that this is
carefully-performed well-orchestrated rock music with Pop-Psychedelic
elements, but also delicate guitar playing, symph-like keyboards and a
heavy amount of vocal arrangements. Similarities with CRESSIDA are
undeniable. So,FANTASY deliver mainly song- based tracks with clear and
sensitive vocals and tried to mix the British Psychedelic sound with a
somewhat Orchestral Rock approach, obviously based on the strong use of
keyboards, mainly Hammond organ and mellotron. The album is rather soft
and flows nice and easy from track to track, additionally it contains
some very good and memorable moments. However, while CRESSIDA belong to
the early British Prog movement entering the 70's ,FANTASY presented the
same thing three years later, when progressive rock had already worn
better-sounding clothes.
Totally unoriginal yet undoubtfully pleasant and enjoyable,''Paint a
picture'' speaks to fans of the afore-mentioned prog pioneers, along
with early CARAVAN or even GENESIS. Recommended.
