Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originating from Wales, this remarkably proficient ensemble bridged late-sixties psychedelia with the brass-heavy complexities of emerging progressive rock. Their lone studio album features highly ambitious, extended suites punctuated by fluid guitar interplay and a tight, prominent horn section. Though the group splintered shortly after its release, it remains a highly regarded document of the UK's progressive transition.
