Country: New Zeland
Scented Gardens for the Blind is the second album by New Zealand group Dragon released in March 1975 on Vertigo Records before they relocated to Australia in May. Scented Gardens for the Blind, along with their first album Universal Radio, is in the progressive rock genre-all subsequent albums are hard rock/pop rock. "Vermillion [sic] Cellars" was released as a single in March and was followed by non-album singles, "Education" in May and "Star Kissed" in August but neither albums nor singles had any local chart success.
The title of New Zealand author Janet Frame's fourth novel was Scented Gardens for the Blind (1963). In 1994 the album was re-released as a CD. It was re-packaged as a double CD (with first album Universal Radio) in 2004
Scented gardens for the blind was dragons second album released before they moved to AUSTRALIA. Its very different from the well known hits like April sun in cuba, Are you old enough ETC.This album has a different keyboard player and sounds more like ELP or Yes.
If you like 1970`s rock Like Elp Yes I reckon this is a pretty hot record!
