Mr. Sirius - Dirge CD
SKU
15-KICS 3625
Long unavailable, this is the 1990 second and final studio album, which really hit a lot of folks' happy buttons in the progressive rock deprived late 80s!. Very pleasing Renaissance/Camel/Caravan/Canterbury influenced progressive.
Now it's available again at a reasonable price, especially for a Japanese release, as a special blu-spec CD release!
"Mr. Sirius...is quite wonderful and unique. With styles covering classical, jazz, Canterbury and even a tad of Emersonian synth you can see why. The most dominant sound, I'd say, is very soft and pastoral with a classical feel. For some sections though, they get the synth, organ and mellotron going to create a more defined progressive sound that is very jazzy with more than occasional nods to the Canterbury sound..."-Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock
"Symphonic rock with incredible female vocals at its best here... heavier than Barren Dream but just as harmonically and sonically expansive. Hiroko Nagai is one of the best singers in the world, period. Sing it, baby!"-rateyourmusic
