Album Notes & Community Reviews

Split between studio recordings and expansive live performances at the Roundhouse in London, this double LP captures the Welsh ensemble at the peak of their improvisational powers. The group blends tight, blues-inflected riffing with lengthy, cosmic jams that drew heavily from the West Coast psychedelic movement and German space rock. It serves as a definitive document of their unique position within the British underground jam scene.
