Cressida's short career will be unfortunately unnoticed, despite having a lot of trumps in their hands. Just two albums, but both fetching small fortunes (partly due to the fact that they were released on Vertigo's Swirl label), but the music quality is simply excellent on both records although there are very notable differences between them. This first album came with a disturbing artwork that started out from a good idea, but somehow ultimately failed as the collage is rather amateurish, which is rather surprising given the Vertigo label. Actually sonically, Cressida defies easy description using other names, but if one has to try I would say a cross between Caravan, a jazzy Savoy Brown (with Chris Youlden around the Raw Sienna album) and Spring. Remastered edition, comes in a digipack.
