   It seems that this album was unknown to majority (until great Terminal Passage channel show it to the wider audience).
UK fusion band with quite space atmospere (but not as space as cover or genre suggests), long saxophone fragments, electric piano and quite uncompromising style a la Soft Machine after Third.
Catchy and interesting.

Good addition to other representans of United Kingdom underground/small-press such as proposed recently Big Sleep and Deep Feeling (even though it's a different style).
