Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut release from the former Curved Air violinist's new ensemble establishes a muscular, classical-rock fusion highlighted by Way's aggressive, heavily amplified string work. The arrangements are notable for incorporating complex, angular riffs alongside more traditional symphonic progressive elements, driven by Ian Mosley's dynamic drumming. It successfully positioned the group as a formidable, technically proficient force within the early 1970s British rock landscape.
