From Prognosis :
How do you critique a voice like Annie Haslam? I have two Renaissance concert posters from the 70’s here on my office wall, so to say I am a fan would be an understatement. Still, Renaissance has had a spotty history among some progressive fans, especially the 80’s albums on the IRS label, when they went maybe just a tad too far into pop music, but there is no denying that Ashes Are Burning must be considered the groups finest achievement.
From the stunning opening Can You Understand? With deep resonating percussion ornate keyboard work and Russian classical influence to the poignant The Harbour to the soaring and ever popular Carpet of the Sun, this is an album I went through two copies of on Vinyl back in the day, wore them both out before CD’s and I still listen to this album three or four times a year. It’s that good. If you need to own (and you do!) at least one Renaissance album, Ashes Are Burning should top the list.
