Island – Pictures ( 1977 Switzerland Prog Rock, Jazz-Rock ) Full Album

Island biography Founded in Windlach, Raat, Switzerland in 1975 Good band which sounds pretty much Canterbury like. The band format includes keys, sax, drums and vocals. The biggest influence for ISLAND definitely seems to be VdGG, and the band certainly approaches progressive rock from the darker end of the spectrum. Sometimes the influence of GENTLE GIANT gets very clear in their music. Personnel: 1. Introduction (Peter Scherer) - 00:00 2. Zero (Peter Scherer) -01:35 3.
