Album Notes & Community Reviews

Led by the highly inventive British flautist and saxophonist, this dynamic ensemble seamlessly bridged the gap between avant-garde jazz improvisation and heavy progressive rock. Featuring stellar contributions from Chris Spedding and a deeply syncopated rhythm section, the complex arrangements are both aggressive and highly atmospheric. Released on the iconic Vertigo 'swirl' label, it is highly prized for its uncompromising, electric intensity.
