4 stars In impressive start for the band, balancing between their English prog nature and their krautrock influences.

Some VERY good songs, a very powerful A-Side and a somewhat weaker but still worthy B-Side create an album that every serious prog listener should have.

"Astronaut's Nightmare" and "Countenance" are the best songs of the album in my opinion, majestic and all, very close to the Yes sound. The vocals on "Countenance" could be inspired by the now legendary "Child In Time" by Deep Purple, which was released with the "In Rock" album only a year earlier.

The highly rated compilation "Retrospective 1969-1980" chooses 6 songs out of this album and 6 out of "Recycled"; no other album has more songs, and that definitely means a lot.
