Excellent privately issued Pomp Rock/Hard Rock with some Progressive moves thrown to the mix. Styx and Kansas are the main influences here, but you could also find similarities to Uriah Heep. Fantastic production, good songwriting and tight musicianship, recommended to fans of the style. My favourite track is "The Last Survivor", similar to Styx's Curulewski era. Forget their later albums, this one is their magnum opus!

Minneapolis based AOR styled progressive rock band. Strong overtones to the top acts of the era like Kansas, Boston, Journey and Styx - especially the latter. Though the album is private, it looks and sounds like a major label effort.

A US group from the cold city of  Minneapolis, performing in late-70's.The first line-up included guitarist Tom Riopelle, singer Mike Ricci, drummer Mark Stellflug, keyboardist/flutist Mark Enstad and bassist Richard Wieser. They debuted in 1978 with a private self-titled album.

The sound of Fairchild had strong links with STYX and to a lesser extent with JOURNEY, AMBROSIA and 70's QUEEN. Especially the first side is a pleasant and enjoyable amalgam of AOR and Pomp Rock, performed in a typical groovy US style with good synth work, light organ and expressive vocals with heart-felt lyrics.The music remains strong and tight all the way with some interesting guitar and keyboard parts. The second side though is a bit more demanding with more professional arrangements and a proggy edge at moments. The vocals remain in a kind of QUEEN/STYX vein but the instrumental passages have a lot to offer.From the floating synths to the heavy flute work and from the multi-vocal arrangemenents to the more unpfront organ waves, the flipside actually sounds more like an accesible Prog album than a Pomp Rock effort.
