The Enid - In the Region Of The Summer Stars CD (album) cover
The Enid   Symphonic Prog  4.24 | 155 ratings  From
Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website  5
stars This is an excellent album by one of the most underrated
groups. It's the ultimate symphonic album with very subtle
textures, complex compositions and memorable themes. There is a
big classical and soundtrack influence in the music. I can hear
a lot of similarity to RACHAMNINOF, IVES, BARTOK etc. but I
think there are no quotations. There are a few heavier moments
but the overall atmosphere is romantic. I have just the re-
recorded CD version. I don't find it by any means cold. There's
so much dynamics and deep emotions in the music. The LP version
is supposed to be even better but the band had to re-record it,
because EMI refused to release it or letting the band have the
original tapes. They also had to use alternate titles and a new
cover.  "Fool" is a misterious intro with piano intro, trumpet
solo and atmospheric sounds.
