VERMILION SANDS was a good but short lived Japanese band formed in the end of the 70's. With the original formation that included Yoko Royama (vocals, flute) Masahiro Yamada (keyboards), Hisashi Matoba (drums & acoustic guitar), Kenji Ota (bass), Takafumi Yamasaki (drums) and Hiroyuki Tanabe (flute, keyboards) they released their debut called "Water Blue" (1989). Water blue released in 1987 in some cases appear 1989 as the year of issue is the single album released by this japanese band, but what a beautiful, elegant and full of mesmerizing passages all over the place. Plus the voice of Yoko Royama is really heavenly and very very close to Ana Haslam in manner of intepretating. Musicaly speaking is as well Renaissance like , very symphonic with elaborated passages, very nice keyboards and guitar parts like on the longest tune from here Ashes Of The Time, elegant piece with melodic passages well constructed and a very smooth vocal arrangements as well.
