Notes

Japan 24-Bit Remaster

Released in 1971 on Pye's Dawn label, this is the only known album from the British progressive combo. Exceptional guitar work features throughout this low key and very obscure 70's album. Features Barry Ford, who was later in Clancy in the mid-seventies and Merger in the late seventies.

Progressive album which does contain some good guitar work and is long on playing time. Barry Ford was later in Clancy in the mid-seventies and Merger in the late seventies, but neither of these were well known either. Progressive Soul with deep feelings the track "The System" is the killer
and there is a good version of "Indian Rope Man i get the feeling this album could have been bloody brilliant but it dosent quite make it for me.
