The album featured the band’s two best-known songs, “Windchase” and “Morning of the Earth”, which have become staples of classic rock radio stations. The album was re-released in 2007 with two bonus tracks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSebastian Hardie’s second album, Windchase, was released in 1976. The album featured more progressive rock elements, such as extended instrumental passages, and was well-received by critics. The title track, “Windchase”, is considered to be one of the band’s best songs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1977, Sebastian Hardie released their third album, The World’s Last Night. The album featured a darker, more complex sound, with the single “The World’s Last Night” becoming a minor hit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn interesting fact about Sebastian Hardie is that they are considered one of the pioneers of the progressive rock genre in Australia.

The record expands beyond standard hard-rock structures into symphonic, pastoral passages, with long-form arrangements that give pieces such as “Rosanna” and “Openings” room to unfold. Emerging at a time when prog was becoming increasingly ambitious internationally, the album helped establish Sebastian Hardie as one of Australia’s most respected acts in the style. Its blend of melodic restraint, instrumental detail and expansive composition has kept it a reference point for listeners drawn to the more ambitious side of 1970s rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \u003c!-- Genres --\u003e\n    \n      \u003cp\u003eGenre: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pop-rock-vinyl-records\"\u003ePop \u0026amp; Rock\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/sebastian-hardie\"\u003eSebastian Hardie\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/polydor-records-record-label\"\u003ePolydor\u003c\/a\u003e – 2907 016\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP, Album\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_australia\"\u003eAustralia\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReleased: \u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all\/year_1975\"\u003e1975\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pop-rock-vinyl-records\"\u003ePop \u0026amp; Rock\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/prog-rock\"\u003eProg Rock\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFour Moments\u003cbr\u003eB1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Sebastian+Hardie+Rosanna\"\u003eRosanna\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Sebastian+Hardie+Openings\"\u003eOpenings\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Polydor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43675509686337,"sku":"3504794","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/Ny5qcGVn_5f9L9og.jpg?v=1773360507"},{"product_id":"sebastian-hardie-windchase-361391","title":"Sebastian Hardie – Windchase (VG+\/VG)","description":"\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003e Second Hand\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShips from: \u003c\/strong\u003e Melbourne\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedia: \u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good Plus (VG+)\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCover: \u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good (VG)\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComments: \u003c\/strong\u003e Laminate lifting on cover.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n\n\n\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelease details\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTracklist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Description tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eWindchase is an LP by \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/sebastian-hardie\"\u003eSebastian Hardie\u003c\/a\u003e from 1976 released on the Polydor label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003ch2 class=\"product-about-heading\"\u003eAbout this album\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eWindchase is Sebastian Hardie’s most polished statement of symphonic progressive rock, balancing intricate arrangements with strong melodic hooks.
