The Enid

The Profile

English music group formed by Robert John Godfrey, known for blending classical and rock elements into orchestral/neo‑classical compositions.

Founded by Robert John Godfrey; early work includes In the Region of the Summer Stars. The project is frequently described as a fusion of classical and rock and has been discussed in progressive rock circles; Tony Stratton-Smith is mentioned in contemporary accounts as an early admirer.

The provided review (franc'O'brain) judges In the Region of the Summer Stars as largely imitative and lacking compositional originality, labeling The Enid neoclassical rather than genuinely progressive. A few tracks ("The Demon King" and the title track) are highlighted as strong moments. The review references Robert John Godfrey's background and early attention from Tony Stratton-Smith.
