Lady Lake by Gnidrolog

Lady Lake is the second studio album of the British progressive rock band, Gnidrolog. The album was recorded in the London Morgan Studios in 1972 and released that same year. The album was re-issued in the UK in 1999 and in Japan in 2009. The band retains its uniqueness by not using keyboards and using the piano only on "Same Dreams". The use of the flute is dominant in tracks such as "I Could Never Be a Soldier" and is as distinctive as Ian Anderson's flute in Jethro Tull. The songs in the album deal with a variety of concepts varying from pacifism in "I Could Never Be a Soldier", to pilgrimage in "Ship", and Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake in the title track, "Lady Lake". The album cover seems to associate the title with Swan Lake. The band broke up shortly after the album was released due to lack of commercial success, but would eventually reunite to record another album in 1999.
