Absolutely unique progressive rock from 1970. Eastern tinged, the lead guitarist falls in spiralling electric noodling with hypnotic drums taking the listener's mind into new and shadowlike prog dimensions. Keith Moon thought this band was sensational after he saw them support Alexis Korner. Divisive music and absolutely identifiable as pure 1970
