2 stars As I've said before - feel the historical flow of heavy progressive rock.

Actually 37 years before, this album has been in this world - with such an impressively heavy opening. As you can realize with listening, BODKIN could shoot the organ-based heavily symphonic sounds tinged with some psychedelic spice. In the early 70s such a musical style might come into fashion by Ken Hensley of URIAH HEEP or Jon Lord of DEEP PURPLE. On the contrary, we cannot say "progressive" without overtaking the pioneers or cutting the way of the new approach of keyboard-oriented rock style(s). Indeed they did a good play and their sounds are comfortable and exciting for me on listening to the album, but sadly as a typhoon has blown away, there's nothing IMPRESSIVE left after listening. Yes, their style already has shown by the pioneers as mentioned before. This album is a good item for some collectors or fans who love heavily organ-based symphonic rock style. (Anyway, I'm more surprised such a rare CD could be sold in a countryside used-CD-shop than everything hahaha.)

Surely you can feel oldies and goodies.
