As vividly as I still can picture their album's cover in my minds eye (faces of three
guys, Refugee written on the bottom of the album) as thoroughly stumped am I when it comes
to their line-up: if I remember correctly, the group was fronted by keyboardist Patrick
Moraz (?) (ex Yes), but who were the drummer and bassist? If you please, you knowledgeable
gentle people of the e-progdomain!

(Gibraltar EPR): Refugee (74) - The Nice, with Keith Emerson replaced by Patrick Moraz.
This is a reissue of a progressive rock classic, with long instrumental tracks composed
around the awesome keyboards of Mr. Moraz. This is better than anything that The
Nice ever did. Moraz's dymanic experimental sounds are fantastic. A must have for
Patrick Moraz's keyboard work. Lee Jackson's vocals are annoying as usual (has a worse
vocalist ever existed?) but he doesn't sing all that much. Just listen to Moraz play.

It depends. If you're primarily attuned to experimentation with timbre, then you will
like it. If you like strong harmonic progressions from chord to chord, you will probably
prefer them playing Emo's music, as I do.
