About moondancer

Moondancer biography Along with other fine Japanese prog acts such as COSMOS FACTORY, FAR EAST FAMILY BAND and YONIN-BAYASHI, MOONDANCER had a rough time starting out at the end of the 70's. Fortunately for us, they did manage to release an album in 1979 before disbanding. They were guitarist/flutist Sawamura Taku, bassist Shimoda Nobuhisa, drummer Sato Yoshiki and keyboardist Atsumi Rei; Rei joined Japanese metal band VOW WOW after MOONDANCER broke up. Their self-titled album is a blend of hard rock and symphonic prog that features organ and piano, flute and electric as well as acoustic (12-string) guitar; but it is Atsumi Rei's colourful keyboards and the memorable tunes that stand out and should attract fans from both symphonic prog and hard-rock. Recommended to fans of harder-edged symphonic prog. Fans of NOVELA and NEKTAR will probably connect best with this music.
