Threw this "gem" on the turntable yesterday. Again, reissued by the great Italian independent label Akarma. Comparisons could be that of the prog folk and flute of Tull, the heavy blues-jazz fusion and sax of Blodwyn Pig and more dynamic and diverse than thier UK contemporaries of Gravy Train and Raw Material. Magnificant melodicism and heavenly with an ambience of psychedelic pop/rock. Some staggering time sig shifts and at times having heaviness.
