A much sought-after classic of U.K. underground progressive rock and psychedelia, this was originally issued in a scarce edition of 500 back in 1971. The album reached legendary status by affiliation, as it features Mick Hawksworth of
Five Day Week Straw People and Andromeda, and Roy Sharland, a keyboardist who later worked with
the Crazy World of Arthur Brown and Spice. This album is classic keyboard-driven British progressive rock in the vein of
Soft Machine and
Caravan and is well-deserving of reissue. The Arkarma issue features four bonus tracks previously unreleased, and excellent repackaging that surpasses the originals for quality. [Repertoire's 2007 reissue appeared in 2007.] ~ Skip Jansen
