Omschrijving

Cessida were an excellent band of early British symphonic progressive scene. Their 
sound is mostly dominated by the most beautiful and symphonic Hammond organ 
(dirty, and mellow), piano, bass, guitar, and drums. The instrumental sections are 
equally good, and tend to be typical of early 70s English prog rock. Thanks to the 
captivating atmospheres and the technical ability of the musicians. 

Both Cressida albums are excellent and very rare now (both were original Vertigo 
Swirls). Their self-titled debut is an early seventies forgotton classic with delicate 
vocals, gobs of organ and acoustic guitar. The combinations of instruments used for 
this album featuring the flute and different keyboard configurations accompanied 
by acoustic guitar works. This album, though, was by far the better one, with long 
instrumental passages and more elaborate arrangements. Thus, if you're interested, 
Asylum is a recommended starter of great early British rock.
