- I second this opinion. _Red Queen... is an excellent CD; it's sort
- of a melange of early Genesis (circa _Trespass_/_Nursery Cryme_),
- Jethro Tull (at their most fragilely beautiful best), Gentle Giant,
- and Vivaldi, or maybe William Boyce, thrown in for good measure.
- Gryphon's influences may so, but IMHO _Red Queen... isn't derivative
- in the least.
