Ciccada "The Finest Of Miracles" LP

Beautiful second album from this Greek symphonic rock band fronted by the etherial vocals of Evangelia Kozoni. Ciccada is a quartet but this time around they are augmented by a number of musicians including Johan Brand of Anglagard. Mellotron not withstanding the music has a very strong folk component. Given the lead instrumentation blend of flute, guitar, and keys I'm often reminded of the first White Willow album "Ignis Fatuus" but if you wanted to throw in a comparison to Tull's "Thick As A Brick" I guess I wouldn't argue. What the hell - let's throw in all those obscure British female fronted folk bands of the 70s. You know who I'm talking about. Heavyweight gatefold sleeve.
