Album Notes & Community Reviews

Relocating to London, the Italian jazz-rock outfit aligned with producer Robin Lumley to craft a highly rhythmic, fusion-oriented record. Driven by prominent synthesizers, fiery guitar interplay, and guest appearances from prominent progressive musicians, it showcases the band's shift from symphonic structures to intense, groove-based improvisation.
