Lake - Lake II (1978) (vinyl Lp) - €5,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

Lake is a German-British rock music group that formed in 1973 in Hamburg, Germany. 

In 1975, they were joined by lead singer James Hopkins-Harrison, who gave them their signature sound for the remainder of their recording career. 

The band was originally active as The Tornados between 1967 and 1973, before reincarnated as Lake in 1973. 

They achieved modest success in Europe from the mid-1970s through the early 1980s.

Lake II is the second studio album by Lake, released in 1978. 

The group combined strong pop melodies with definite progressive rock-oriented arrangements. 

This album, obviously the group's second, features a lot of different textures. 

From the pop/rock-oriented "Welcome to the West" to the Elton Johnish ballad "Love's a Jailer," this entire album is a treat. 

Although the majority of the disc is in a definite singalong sort of pop style, there are still some quite meaty instrumental sections that lead to the progressive rock reference. 

The music here is quite strong prog-oriented pop with a very unique guitar sound, and the vocals seem to call to mind a combination of Journey's Steve Perry and Yes' Jon Anderson.
