Formed by ex-Cream drummer Ginger Baker and the Gurvitz brothers, this sophomore effort leans into a heavy, tightly wound hard rock format. 'Elysian Encounter' showcases forceful rhythms alongside dynamic guitar work, occasionally dipping into subtle jazz-rock textures without losing its driving momentum.
