Album Notes & Community Reviews

Comprised largely of British expatriates based in Germany, the group crafted a profoundly dark and menacing atmosphere that merged heavy Krautrock aesthetics with progressive rock ambition. Driven by prominent saxophones and distorted guitars, its bleak, occult-tinged lyrical themes set it apart from their more cosmic contemporaries.
