Emerald Web, USA-Florida


Dragon Wings And Wizard Tales. 1979 Stargate

The Florida based duo of Kat Epple and Bob Stohl debuted with Dragon Wings and Wizard Tales which is a nice mix of sequencer based electronic music, fluttering flute, airy female voice and acoustic/electric guitar. Excellent atmospheres and even a few heavy rocked out moments towards the end that are well placed to add some much needed spice. A quite varied album, that needs a few listens to appreciate.

The duo went on to record a few more albums, though supposedly in the new age genre. I remember seeing these 80's albums back then and avoided like the plague, but I haven't heard them to be fair.  Tragically, Bob Stohl died in a drowning accident in 1989.

Priority: 3

***Reissued on LP by Sebastian Speaks (2012) and Long Hair (2017)
