Druid was a progressive rock band that included Neil Brewer on bass guitar, Andrew McCrorie-Shand on keyboards, Cedric Sharpley on drums and percussion and ‘Dane’ on guitar and vocals. In 1975 they released their debut-LP Towards the sun and a year later a second album entitled Fluid Druid.

Their first effort featured fluent and melodic songs, layered with mellotron, often in combination with sensitive electric guitar work. The echoes from Yes are obvious: lots of vocal harmonies, a Chris Squire-like bass, Wakemanesque keyboards and even the high-pitched vocals like Jon Anderson. But Druid’s music was less complex and virtuosic, their pleasant sound appeals to many, more than the 24-carat Yes-clone Starcastle. Fluid Druid was in the vein of their first but less mature.

I used to be a Druid fan in the 70s. I also liked Yes and Genesis at the time. Yes clone? Well, they sound more like Yes than they sound like the New York Dolls or Lucifer's Friend, so maybe that makes them a clone or something.

Druid is a Yes clone, but their music is really brilliant. Compare it to today´s "clone bands" and you´ll see the standards of quality that were in the 70´s. I like their "Towards The Sun" album very much.
