NOVELA is perhaps one of the most popular and pivotal rock bands in Japan. Between 1980 and 1987 they delivered many albums. The sound on the first records was 'heavy progressive', later NOVELA turned more into a harder-edged rock band. NOVELA featured two known 'progrock legends': keyboard virtuoso Toshio Egawa (later Gerard and Sheherazade) and multi-instrumentalist Terutsugu Hirayama (he founded TERU'S SYMPHONIA). The first four albums contain both short, more heavy up-tempo tracks as long, very symphonic compositions with lush keyboards (many majestic Mellotron waves!). In 1993 Nexus Classics released the compilation CD entitled "Symphonic World", this album includes all their 'epic' Mellotron drenched songs along a few shorter tracks. Start with "La Songerie", this one contains two wonderful, very long compositions featuring great Mellotron from Toshio Egawa!
