Album Notes & Community Reviews

The French progressive ensemble delivers an incredibly dense, saxophone-and-keyboard-driven masterwork that bridges the gap between symphonic grandeur and Canterbury Scene complexity. The music is characterized by haunting, labyrinthine instrumental passages and a distinctly dark, medieval atmosphere. It is widely heralded by genre purists as one of the definitive hidden masterpieces of the 1970s European underground.
