The one and only album from this band from Australia.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, piano, keyboards, flute and vocals.
The phrase "hidden gem" is rarely more true than in the case of this album. It was printed in 50 x and then bootlegged on CD by a company in South Korea. It is still a pretty unknown album.
Shame.
The music on this album is a sixteen piece big suite. Hence, the music is primarly symphonic prog.
Take a bit of ELP, add Eloy and some more krautrock, symphonic prog and then jazz and progressive folk rock. Yes, that includes some influences fromJethro Tull and their Aqualong album. Pretty strong at times, too.
The music is a bit heavy at times too with a lot of flutes. It is also pretty epic.
The vocals and the sound is good throughout.
The result is indeed a good album who deserve the attention from symphonic prog and other prog rock fans. This is indeed a hidden gem. Dig it out.
