Earth and Fire's Song Of The Marching Children falls somewhere within the song-oriented prog category. The album consists of short tracks on side A, and a larger epic on side B. All of the tracks on Side A feature some of the best qualities found in more adventurous progressive rock, and they end up sounding like miniature epics. The side-long track sounds like 5 songs pieced together. Overall, the music from this band has a strong European symphonic sound, meaning that Baroque, classical, and even circus influences are all over the place. The band likes to weave in and out of major/minor chords and scales, so the music alternates between happy and sad moods. I also hear a noticeable early King Crimson sound(heavy on the orchestral mellotron sound). Earth And Fire had a female lead-singer with one of the warmest, and charismatic, voice that I've heard in prog. She is usually mentioned first when people talk about the band. Some of her lyrics are silly in a surreal, counterculture, sort of way, but her beautiful voice quickly makes you forgive the naive lyrics. This is a majestic album that will please fans of early King Crimson, PFM's Per Un Amico, and Fantasy.
