A pastoral, symphonic slice of mid‑70s British prog, Toward The Sun (1975) introduced Druid as rising talents championed by DJ Bob Harris and the Melody Maker competition. Their debut blends acoustic guitars, flute‑like textures, lush keyboards and soaring vocal harmonies, wrapped in a warm AOR‑leaning prog sound that foreshadowed the late‑70s shift of bigger bands in the genre. Dream‑themed lyrics and fluid instrumental passages give the album a cohesive, atmospheric flow, making it a cult favourite among collectors of melodic symphonic prog. This 2026 Music On Vinyl edition arrives on yellow & orange marbled vinyl, individually numbered and complete with insert.
