Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring a potent mix of complex arrangements and aggressive, riff-heavy psychedelia, the sole LP by this Mannheim-based sextet is a heavy progressive landmark. The addition of British lead vocalist Geff Harrison provided a gravelly, hard-rock edge to the band's sprawling, classically-influenced organ and guitar duels. The title track, a complex multi-part suite, exemplifies their aggressive technical mastery.
