1973 – Solar Fire

Still considered by many followers to be one of the best Earth Band albums, this was the first to be issued on the Bronze label. Following on from the hit single “Joybringer”, based on “Jupiter” from Holst’s “Planet Suite”, the album continued the theme, although without the freedom to use any more of Holst’s work. Although altogether a fine and atmospheric album there is one outstanding track, a ten minute working of Dylan’s “Father Of Day Father Of Night”.
