Psychedelic/Space Rock

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

The start of the album suggests that the band developed since 1974. Finally, the keyboard arsenal is enriched and we don't hear the organ only. Piano and Moog/Mellotron can be heard.

Compositions can be more restrained and polished but in its core, it's still hard rock with dominating guitar seconded by space rock - laid back guitars, synth layers and even some female vocals.

I really like this change and higher inclusion of keyboards, there are nice contrasts between quiet keyboard parts and more dynamic drum/guitar sections.

"Mutiny" is arguably the most progressive track here with even some majestic keyboards. I recommend you hearing the last epic "The bells of Notre Dame" with soaring melodic guitar playing. This is a smoking number.

This the first album in their discography I started to appreciate but better pieced to still to arrive.
