Renaissance

Contemporary R&B
Contemporary R&B

Renaissance is a Contemporary R&B act. Their sound grew out of Yes, Animals, Curved Air, Wishbone Ash and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Those roots explain a lot about how Renaissance arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Camel, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Focus, Steve Hackett and Eloy, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Illusion, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 30 connections around Renaissance, reaching back through Yes and forward to Illusion. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
