Album Notes & Community Reviews
Formed in an isolated Berkshire cottage, Steve Winwood and Dave Mason's collective experiment pulls equally from English folk, jazz improvisation, and R&B. Sitar passages sit comfortably alongside saxophone interludes and bluesy piano lines, resulting in a distinctly eclectic and groove-oriented take on British psychedelia.
