Album Notes & Community Reviews
Capturing the famous Wetton/Bruford/Cross lineup in pristine audio, this unedited European concert contains the raw source material used heavily on 'Starless and Bible Black'. The quartet balances terrifyingly heavy, metallic riffs with abstract, nearly telepathic collective free-improvisation, showcasing progressive rock at its most dangerous edge.
