The third and final album from this band from Great Britain.
The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
Three guests added guitars and vocals.
The band released their first two albums in 1970 and 1971. They are semi-classic symphonic prog albums. Why Tim Wheatley and Robert Lipson, two-thirds of the 1996 band, returned twenty-seven years later is something I do not really understand.
Nevertheless, they did and the result is this album.
The years of inactivity has meant a change of genre. From symphonic prog to.... well, this one hour long album has a mix of various genres.
The start off point is art-rock. Then we get some psych rock, mainstream rock and......jazz. Yes, jazz. Coser to fusion, mostly but still some minutes with jazz. Confused ? You will be confused by this album.
That is not a bad thing, a musically varied album as this album. The vocals is also good and the band does a good job.
The quality of the music is somewhere between decent and good. It is indeed an interesting album who is sadly overlooked. Undeserved overlooked as it deserve a lot more attention. Check out this album.
