Album Notes & Community Reviews
Assembled by producer Mike Vernon during a period of inactivity for the Dutch progressive rock titans, this collection consists largely of unfinished studio outtakes and previously unreleased tracks. The material, spanning sessions from 1970 to 1975, showcases the band's unparalleled instrumental prowess and deep jazz-fusion roots. Despite its piecemeal nature, it provides a fascinating, highly technical glimpse into the group's creative evolution.
