Great UK psych/prog. Only record from the band, but a really must have for the listeners of this era. Try "poor lady" for a little sample of the record... -
this album is a vintage psych classic. very good songs, singing and playing, great guitar parts. some real "a-ha" moments. recommended to late 60's /early 70's psych heads. -
Edited 13 years agoThe UK pressing is always poor, meaning fairly constant surface noise, even on an unplayed copy. I've never heard the French original on Vogue, but it is supposed to be equally cursed. It was also released in minute quantities in Australia on the Astor label. A decent pressing, that is the version to get if you want an original that plays nicely.

Edited 14 years agoAll tracks on this extremely rare album are filled with an atmosphere of anguish and despair, even in their quieter moments. Both lyrics and music are struggling for expression, to the effect of creating a very dense and at times impenetrable album, which is worth your while nonetheless. Although barely escaping perennial threats of murkiness and even sloppiness, the convincing emotional contents save the day for this album. Especially impressive are the longer tracks like the opening I'm On My Way with its telling title, in which the song structure gets blown to pieces by emotional outbursts on guitar, leading into an altogether strange and hitherto unheard of territory. This track was also issued on the rare label sampler Earthed from 1970. Mediocre vinyl marred all copies I have encountered.
