Gnidrolog - Lady Lake (1972) {1991, Japan 1st Press}

Gnidrolog was a British progressive rock band, with a sound that was compared to better known bands such as Van der Graaf Generator, Jethro Tull and Gentle Giant. Lady Lake is the second studio album of the British progressive rock band, Gnidrolog. The album was recorded in the London Morgan Studios in 1972 and released that same year. The band retains its uniqueness by not using keyboards and using the piano only on "Same Dreams". The use of the flute is dominant in tracks such as "I could never be a soldier" and is as distinctive as Ian Anderson's flute in Jethro Tull. The songs in the album deal with a variety of concepts varying from pacifism in "I could never be a soldier", which is almost an intimate conversation between the artists and soldier, to pilgrimage with "Ship" and Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake with the title track, Lady Lake. The album cover seems to associate the title with Swan Lake. Shortly after the album was released, the band has broken up for 27 years, due to a lack of commercial success. The band would reunite to record another album only in 1999.
