Heavy UK prog at its best! Original copies of Gracious' 1970 self-titled debut are much sought after on the collector's market. For their first release, the band used the mellotron to create interesting soundscapes and a sometimes acoustic guitar to give their compositions a more polished quality. The band shines on tracks like "The Dream" (17 minutes), which use heavy keyboards, drums and an aggressive vocal style to drive their message home."
