Not sure why this is not listed on progarchives.

Parts of it remind me of Egg (Polite Force), other parts (vocal harmonies) remind me of Nektar's harmonies on "Remember the future".  Although this came out in 1971.



Very good album from start to finish.  However, not one amazing standout track but no weak track either.  Just good music all the way thru.


{edited to add band name to subject heading}

It is very nice--  Eclectic?  Jazzrock?  Not exactly prog?  We'll see.

Don't know why it's not listed, it has psych and jazz fusion elements, but because of the pop-like qualities, and that it rather reminds me of Procol Harum in part, I'd be inclined towards Crossover.

I'll mention it to Crossover directly.

Sounds like nice early jazzy proto prog to me. I hear many different bands in there....Greenslade, Fantasy, Spring, Cressida....
Never heard of the band and that's the type of thing I like .
