Album Notes & Community Reviews

The incredibly obscure American ensemble's sophomore effort is a frantic, labyrinthine exploration of avant-garde rock music. 'Music From Left Field' features mind-bending tempo changes, complex brass arrangements, and a whimsical, Zolo-inspired aesthetic that aligns closely with the original Rock in Opposition ethos. It is a brilliant, highly technical rarity prized by progressive collectors.
