second sign

Ultra rare previously unreleased progressive rock album recorded at Escape Studios in Kent during the mid 70s. Taken from original master tapes this mysterious group featured the delightful female vocals of Irene Menasche which are as impressive as Spirogyra's Barbara Gaskin and Pauline Filby of Narnia of which some of this material is comparable. French born guitarist Francis Voignier adds a harder edge to some of the songs including several fast paced and catchy tunes whilst providing haunting flute to the meandering Mad River that also features spellbinding vocals from Irene. Second Sign's tour de force Golden Age is a nine minute prog-rock epic full of stunning harmonies and great guitar solos, wonderful Hammond organ and gripping time changes. Imagine classic Fruupp laced with sublime female vocals and you get the picture. Comes with full band history detailing the interesting tale behind this forgotten gem.
