Album Notes & Community Reviews

The final studio album from the premier Danish jazz-rock outfit finds them leaning slightly away from dark experimentation towards slicker, fiercely energetic fusion. The soaring saxophone work of Karsten Vogel paired with heavy, intricate synthesizer passages demonstrates a jaw-dropping level of musicianship across the entirely instrumental compositions. It serves as a formidable swan song for one of Scandinavia's most technically gifted 1970s bands.
