It could be a Big Album in 1969-1973...Look at the cover and you'll understand :)

AKACIA plays 70s Art-Rock in the very sense of this word.Overdrive and wah-wah guitars, Hammonds and Mellotrons, clear and high voice (you can hear the singer coughing in the title track's intro...kinda "70s studio typical flaw" ;) )...sounds very 70ty, and it automatically makes this record a Must for 70s fanatics. They've managed to catch the 70s spirit,and if you tell me that this is actually a 70-72 remastered obscured record, I'll believe you!

Musically it's less interesting.Again guys mix all 70s approaches - you can hear Heavy Prog, Art and Symphonic Prog, Folk Prog here, and the whole thing is VERY psychedelic...a lot of Canterburish attitude can be seen here too.Tracks are bit misleaded and seem to lose point, but fortunately it doesn't happen to often.

I didn't like it much on the first listening, but later it has become more pleasant to my ears. Enjoyable and TRUE-RETRO record, highly recommended to all Prog lovers!
