Robin Lent is a Cuban born US citizen who moved to Netherlands where he recorded and relesead this solo effort in 1971, Robin later joined bands like "Robinson Cruiser" and Max'n Specs accompanied by dutch musicians. He also was part of the Dutch cast of the musical Hair.
The one and only solo album from Robin Lent – a hell of a great singer who really knocks it out of the park with a great blend of acoustic roots and jazzy elements in the music! Recorded on the very short lived UK nepentha record label, and it's an excellent super-rare psych-folk-prog album.
Future Focus band members Thijs Van Leer and Jan Akkerman (also Brainbox member) play on this excellent rare album, which has become highly sought-after in collector’s circles and the music within is highly regarded by critics and fans alike.
