3 stars Dzyan debut album is German answer to Canterbury scene. Atmospheric, nostalgic psychedelic jazz-fusion , with mostly mid-tempo/down-tempo liquid sound.

Musicianship is great, sound recorded at good standard. Plenty of folk elements, many sax soloing are presented. Most recognisable Soft Machine influence is very Wyatt-like vocals. At the same time in places you can hear chamber music influences, or let say Henry Cow-like moments in album's music as well. Organ passages in some songs are very Deep Purple / Uriah Heep music reminding moments. Whole music is very relaxed, but possibly because of that too often compositions sound a bit unfocused.

In all, not essential, but really pleasant and interesting album - kind of German Canterbury release.
