Album Notes & Community Reviews
Fronted by the powerhouse vocals of Joy Fleming, this German ensemble delivered a slick, highly polished pop-rock debut.[cite: 1] The arrangements incorporate subtle soul and blues influences, anchored by sophisticated musicianship and subtle psychedelic pop textures.[cite: 1] It established the group as a formidable commercial force before their later pivot towards jazz-rock.[cite: 1]
