The second album from this band from USA.
The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, timpani, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
This forty minutes long album was originally recorded in 1975, one year after the release of their self-titled debut album. An album I reviewed for and in ProgArchives in August 2009. I gave it a Good rating.
Their debut album had a nice blend of symphonic prog, folk rock and some heavy prog.
Grand Master starts out as a blend of beat, pop-rock, symphonic prog and psych rock. There is not much symphonic prog here, though. I was indeed expecting a lot more ELP influenced music. There is none of that on this album.
The music is songs based and dominated by the rather good vocals. There is not much instrumental music here.
This album is a disappointment for anyone who liked their debut album. I am disappointed, indeed. The music is still charming and sunny.
The music is therefore rather decent and it is well worth checking out.
