4 stars This was one of the first prog-albums I have ever heard. I got a recommendation from my friend when this was released back in 1970 and immediately like the one. I like to give five stars to this, especially when put to the right perspective. It was released at the time when this was something really new. Yes, you can say that there is lot of influences on The NICE and Deep Purple, but so there is always, nobody lives in isolation and every band has influence from outside.

Anyway, I like this a lot and wish that everybody interested in prog-music should listen this just to understand what it was in early 1970 when there were no studio tricks to help musicians. There is lot of virtuosity in this record, especially in keyboards but as well in drums and guitar as well.
