	Once heard a 79' EP by this group, which was completely passionless Synth-Pop with one track a bit close to Twelfth Night.This one sounds more balanced and proggy with a bit of everything in the mix, I think Xover is more of an appropriate choice.Anyway, let's see what the other guys have to say about it.
