███
███
███
The third album by this incarnation of Renaissance was a ███
match for their previous success, Ashes Are Burning, with ███
equally impressive performances and songwriting and a few new ███
musical twists added. The songs here fit more easily into a ███
rock vein, and the prior album's folk influences are gone. ███
Turn of the Cards rocks a bit harder, albeit always in a ███
progressive rock manner, and Jon Camp's bass and Terence ███
Sullivan's drums are both harder and heavier here, the bass ███
(the group's only amplified instrument) in particular much ███
more forward in the mix. This change works in giving the band ███
a harder sound that leaves room for Jimmy Horowitz's ███
orchestral accompaniments, which are somewhat more prominent ███
than those of Richard Hewson on the prior album, with the ███
horns and strings, in particular, more exposed. Annie Haslam ███
is in excellent voice throughout, and finds ideal ███
accompaniment in Michael Dunford's acoustic guitar and John ███
Tout's piano. The writing team of Dunford and Betty Thatcher ███
also adds some new wrinkles to the group's range -- in ███
addition to progressive rock ballads like "I Think of You," ███
they delivered "Black Flame," a great dramatic canvas for ███
Haslam and Tout, in particular; and "Mother Russia" is a ███
surprising (and effective) move into topical songwriting, ███
dealing with the plight of Alexander Solzhenitsyn and other ███
victims of Soviet repression (you had to be there in the ███
1970s to realize what a burning issue this was). And then ███
there were the soaring, pounding group virtuoso numbers like ███
"Things I Don't Understand," which managed to hold audience ███
interest across nine or ten minutes of running time. ███
