Progressive-rock band Ambrosia spent most of its heyday in the '70s and '80s being drubbed by rock critics for its grandiose arrangements and lofty art-rock ambitions. Though the Los Angeles band used eccentric time signatures and orchestral sonic textures like front-line prog-rock outfits such as Genesis, it also demonstrated an appreciation for economical songwriting. It's a sound that Ambrosia singer, guitarist and songwriter David Pack thinks is making a comeback.
