Lady Lake is the second studio album of the British progressive rock band, Gnidrolog. The album was recorded in the London Morgan Studios in 1972 and released that same year. The album was re-issued in the UK in 1999 and in Japan in 2009. The songs in the album deal with a variety of concepts varying from pacifism in "I Could Never Be a Soldier", to pilgrimage in "Ship", and Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake in the title track, "Lady Lake". The band broke up shortly after the album was released due to lack of commercial success, but would eventually release a third, live, album in 1999 - recorded in 1972.
