The second album from this band from United Kingdom.
The band was a sextet on this album with a lineup of drums, cow bell, percussion, bass, guitars, organ, piano, mellotron and vocals.
A guest added flute and bass to a couple of songs.
I reviewed their 1970 debut album Act One back in 2008 and then forgot the band. I guess I also reviewed their third album Pathfinder too. I now got a handful of their albums for review this year and will proceed with that task.
The music on this album is a mix of The Nice and Deep Purple. That is again mixed with some more pastoral pieces.
Most of the music here is both theatrical and complex. There are also some hippie vibes here. Mostly due to the vocals which sounds a bit naive and childlike.
There is a lot of mellotron on this album and mellotron became the major instrument in this band from this album and to the end.
The music is good throughout this forty minutes long album and I can understand why this band got a good following based on their first three albums.
