Album Notes & Community Reviews

Formed by highly respected session keyboardist Tommy Eyre, this obscure British ensemble crafted a sophisticated, highly melodic blend of jazz-inflected progressive rock. The self-titled debut features complex, brass-heavy arrangements interspersed with gentle acoustic passages, demonstrating remarkable instrumental proficiency and tight vocal harmonies. Though it failed to make a significant commercial impact, it remains a highly regarded, technically brilliant gem of the era.
