Gnidrolog

The Profile

English progressive rock band that released two albums in 1972 (In Spite of Harry's Toe-Nail; Lady Lake), disbanded soon after, and later reunited to release Gnosis.

Review and public sources note prominent members Colin Goldring (vocals), Stewart Goldring (guitar) and John Earle (sax, flute, vocals on one track). The group's sound emphasizes wind instruments (sax, oboe, flute) and has only limited keyboard use (notably on "Same Dreams").

Cristo's DeBaser review highlights Lady Lake's striking cover, wind-instrument-led arrangements (sax, oboe, flute) and strong vocals by Colin Goldring. The record is compared stylistically to Van Der Graaf Generator and Gentle Giant. Key notes: sparse keyboards (only on "Same Dreams"), melancholic and lively tracks, recommended for fans of not overly convoluted progressive rock.
