Fantasy Vivariatum (1994) Re up

The music on this CD represents the only remaining songs by one of Britain's finest progressive rock bands. 'Vivariatum' is their third album and spans the entire period of their career from 1970-76.

"Paint A Picture" was the debut album release by England's FANTASY and represents a lovely early work of art. This 5 piece English band play a highly symphonic styled melodic progressive rock with some lovely deep mellotron and keyboards. FANTASYy were known as a song based band and this album showcases their lyrical approach to symphonic music. Instrumentally these guys were amazing with some lovely bass, guitar and drum interplay all put to the expressive and flowing vocals. Their sound is full and rich with lots of great instrumentation.

Recorded in 1974 but unreleased until 1992, BEYOND THE BEYOND was the second album by classically-inspired British progressive group Fantasy, featuring "Reality" and "Worried Man."
