Album Notes & Community Reviews
The sophomore release from this British quartet heavily emphasized the fluid integration of jazz improvisation into a sturdy progressive rock framework. Dominated by prominent flute and saxophone interplay over driving rhythm sections, the tracks exhibit a gritty, club-tested energy typical of the early seventies London scene. It remains a sturdy, highly sought-after example of the era's brass-inflected progressive underground.
