The third and final album from this band from Great Britain.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, violin, keyboards and vocals.
The band continued on this, their third album, despite of their lack of commercial success. Looking back at the band these days, it feels like a supergroup with members from Curved Air, Soft Machine, Soft Machine Legacy and Marillion. But Soft Machine and Marillion was bands the two members joined after their stints in Wolf.
Curved Air was the band the Wolf band owner Darry Way formed before he left them to start up Wolf. Hence why this band was named Darryl Way's Wolf by the records pushing record label. Not enough records was sold and the band was dropped.
That is a great shame as their third album too is a mix of symphonic prog, fusion and a bit pop music. And the music is good. Just as the music on their first two albums was good.
The only missing thing here is the lack of any great songs or even hit-singles. The band had some good to great music. But they never wrote and recorded a hit song or a great song.
Wolf probably has a greater audience these days than back in the 1970s. That says it all.
Wolf and their three albums must be on every proghead's radar and in their record collection.
