About this album

Nice is a sharp, ambitious late-1960s statement from The Nice, a group that helped define the British progressive rock template before Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Released in 1969, the album blends psychedelic colour, classical ambition and jazz-inflected rock, with the band extending material through dramatic arrangements and virtuoso interplay. Their take on Tim Hardin’s Hang On to a Dream and the extended Rondo ’69 show how The Nice could turn familiar songs into something far grander and more volatile. As one of the key early prog records, it captures the era when rock was beginning to reach beyond the single and into the concert hall.

Genre: Pop & Rock
