Azure d'Or

Azure d'Or is the ninth studio album by the English progressive rock band Renaissance, released in May 1979.

[4] With this album the band stopped using an orchestra, choosing instead to overdub multiple instruments themselves in an attempt to emulate an orchestral sound.

A pre-release track listing, published in the Renaissance Appreciation Society newsletter, included the song "Island of Avalon".

This song ended up being omitted from the album; the band members weren't sufficiently pleased with it, having not invested their usual amount of time in it.

Tout (who was dealing with some personal stress due to the death of his sister) had made a major mistake during a concert and walked offstage.
