Album Notes & Community Reviews

Reuniting elements of the legendary Canterbury scene, the progressive visionaries construct a loose, spiritually minded psychedelic suite. Gilli Smyth's space whisper vocals and Daevid Allen's whimsical poetic recitations glide smoothly over fluid, jazz-inflected jam structures and cosmic synthesizer ambiance.
