Ambrosia-Somewhere I´ve Never Travelled (1976)

This North American group has gone down in the history of rock as one of the most perfect bands with excellent vocal conjunctions at the same time as great authors and talented musicians, who got to place some of their albums at the top of the hit lists.
Formed in Los Angeles in the early 70s, it would take some time to sign with any company, although they built a great reputation among the Los Angeles public thanks to their style with a certain progressive air.
In those early days the band was a fan of bands like the British King Crimson, but also of vocal bands like CSNY and they were hell-bent on merging all their musical influences to create their own repertoire.
Already their first album "Ambrosia" (1975), would catapult them to fame for the success of the singles "Nice, Nice, Very Nice" and "Holdin´On the Yesterday".
Its enormous instrumental and vocal quality would draw the attention of Alan Parsons, who produced their second album "Somewhere I've Never Traveled", which definitely catapulted them to stardom with this superb work.
In this album the band decides to increase its commitment to an even more complex and pretentious sound, for this and as a recommendation from Alan Parsons they hire Andrew Powell, who would be in charge of the orchestral arrangements, a proposal that can be heard from the initial and pompous "And" or the luxurious "Somewhere I've Never Traveled" to the impressive "Cowboy Song", passing by "Dense With Me George" a kind of tribute to Chopin, or the anthological "We Need You Too", which made up a Anthological album of the highest level.
