Album Notes & Community Reviews

Highly indebted to the keyboard-driven power trio format popularized by Emerson, Lake & Palmer, the German group's debut showcases intricate, classically inspired symphonic rock. J眉rgen Fritz's virtuosic organ and piano work dominates the sprawling, multi-part suites, establishing the band as formidable technical contenders in the European progressive landscape. It set the stage for their impending international breakthrough later in the decade.
