Transcendence, the second album from Sarasota, Florida's Crimson Glory, came out in 1988 on Roadracer in Europe and MCA in America, and plenty of people still reckon it's the band's finest hour. The classic lineup cut it at Morrisound Studios: Midnight wailing up in the stratosphere, Jon Drenning and Ben Jackson twisting their guitars into long, ornate harmonies, Jeff Lords on bass and Dana Burnell on drums.
It's traditional heavy metal with its head in the clouds, all soaring melodies and dramatic, winding arrangements, and it shows why the band gets counted alongside Queensrÿche and Fates Warning among the pioneers of American progressive metal. "Lonely" is the track the countdowns caught. Black Lotus Records announced a remastered edition called Transcendence: Renovatio in 2006, but the label shut down before it ever came out.
