Album Notes & Community Reviews
Earning international acclaim under this alternate title, the Dutch progressive rock ensemble's second studio album revolves around sprawling, virtuosic flute and guitar interplay. The record is famously anchored by the frantic, yodeling hard-rock instrumental 'Hocus Pocus', which remains one of the era's most bizarrely successful crossover hits.
