Album Notes & Community Reviews

The second album by the British progressive rock band, blending prominent brass arrangements with complex rock structures. The group recorded at Abbey Road Studios, exploring a unique jazz-rock synthesis marked by heavy organ and horn interplay. Despite strong instrumental proficiency, the band struggled to achieve a commercial breakthrough and disbanded shortly after.
