An expanded edition of the classic Renaissance album â??Azure Dâ??Orâ??. Issued in April 1979, the album followed the successful â??A Song For All Seasonsâ?? and the hit single â??Northern Lightsâ?? released the previous year. The line-up of highly gifted vocalist Annie Haslam, Michael Dunford (acoustic and electric guitars), John Tout (keyboards, vocals), Jon Camp (bass, acoustic and electric guitars, vocals) and Terry Sullivan (drums, percussion) had recorded a series of acclaimed albums that fused classical music influences with progressive rock and had earned a loyal following in Europe and had enjoyed wider success in the United States and Japan.
Working once again with David Hentschel (who had also produced the albums â??A Trick Of The Tailâ?? and â??Wind And Wutheringâ?? for Genesis), the record featured excellent material such as â??Jekyll And Hydeâ??, â??Kalyndaâ?? and â??The Flood At Lyonsâ?? and would be the last album by the bandâ??s classic line-up and their last to chart in the UK.
This expanded edition comprises two CDs and a region-free Blu-ray disc featuring a newly remastered original stereo mix from the original master tapes and also includes stunning 5.1 Surround Sound and stereo mixes by Stephen W Tayler (which add new depth to the recordings) and additional unreleased bonus material from the album sessions. The Blu-ray disc also includes bonus visual content from a promotional film made at The Mill House and Bray Studios in 1979 plus an illustrated booklet with a re-production of the bandâ??s 1979 UK tour programme and new essay with exclusive interviews. - "Azur D'or" is a CD release by the progressive rock band Renaissance, manufactured by Smd Reper.
