Ambrosia's self-titled debut album, "Ambrosia", was released in 1975 and is known for it's blend of progressive rock, soft rock, and pop. The band, formed in southern California, s howcased strong musicianship and intricate arrangements, and their debut was both critically acclaimed and commercially successful. The album was produced by Freddie Piro and engineered by Alan Parsons (known for his work on Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon and The Alan Parsons Project). Their collaboration gave the record a polished, spacious sound that complemented the band's ambition. The track "Holdin' on to Yesterday" became a breakout hit, reaching the Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100, and remains one of the band's signature songs. Another highlight is "Nice, Nice, Very Nice," which sets to music a poem by Kurt Vonnegut from his novel Cat's Cradle-a testament to the band's artistic reach. Show more
