I once ordered both live-albums from Greg Walker's Syn-Phonic label. The sound quality is poor, the music is pleasant and indeed Genesis-inspired. A few years ago I got their LP-on-CD-release, it's really worth to check out: obvious hints from early Genesis but surprising shifting moods and musical ideas, quite unique but I think not everybody's cup of tea!

Great album, indeed!

Firstly got it on CD-R but then really had to get the real CD. And did right because the Syn-Phonic release is superb, with a very good booklet containing lots of band photos and history.

Having recently been given a copy of this band's s/t album, I have to admit it REALLY grew on me. Definitely influenced by Genesis ("Selling England--" and "The Lamb--" more than anything) yet having unique twists of their own, like Doroccas's quirky Gary Numan-esque vocals, whacked song structures, the mercilessly complex fusiony drumming and keyboard textures that fall somewhere between Patrick Moraz and Tony Banks.

Anyone here a fan of this Florida fivesome? Anyone lucky enough to see them back in their time (1976-1979)?  Any info on what became of them since?
