MIG-CD-422
Classic German prog album from 1975 that has been out of print for many years. New remastered edition features the original 24 page booklet that came with the double LP. Victor is a concept album conceived by Manuel Rigoni (drums) and Richard Schoenherz (keyboards). This is a real epic production. The duo is augmented by a full band as well as the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Vienna Academy Chamber Choir. Parts of the album were even recorded at Abbey Road! Its a sprawling affair (originally just 4 side long tracks) that is a wonderful collision of prog band and orchestra. Parts of this remind me of Nektar and Jane backed by an orchestra. I suppose in hindsight its a bit schizophrenic in parts - these guys were REALLY going for it - but it works. Even if you are fan of Deep Purple's work with the Royal Philharmonic you should check this one out. Highly recommended.
