An ambitious work that shows a progressive approach.
Known for "A Whiter Shade of Pale," Procol Harum boldly incorporates orchestral and choral elements into this album. This album, which evokes the solemn atmosphere of a prestigious hotel and combines the band's original rock sensibility, is a representative record of their career.
