The sole self-titled album is inspired by US West Coast bands combining late 60’s psychedelic and space-rock elements. The powerful vocal is leaded by Jutta Nienhaus.

Renaissance - Ashes Are Burning (1973)

I believe that is very appropriate starting this blog with the band that makes me a fan of female vocals. Renaissance presents us with a incredible union of rock and classical/orchestral musics and still has Annie Haslam, the sweetest voice of the world.

Enjoy the "Carpet of the Sun" video, one of the most popular song of this album:
