To Whom It Concerns. 1978 UAP
The Godfather of the Dutch neo progressive movement. Long before IQ and Marillion were reinventing the Genesis model for the 1980s, and even before the German school (Ivory, Neuschwanstein), Saga took on the task of replicating the Foxtrot sound. Countless bands on the labels such as SI, InsideOut, Musea, and Cyclops can point to Saga as a band who pioneered this trail for our friends in The Netherlands. Lots of mellotron here, which unfortunately is something that the neo's were keen to get away from. It's not a bad example of the genre, not as inspired as the German school like Sirius' Running to Paradise or Ivory's Sad Cypress, but better than most of the Dutch Genesis imitators I can think of.
