ALBUM REVIEW
Asbjornsen cites a Hendrix influence in his book on German Prog, "Cosmic Dream at Play" and whilst there is a nod to the great man, it is Peter Green that is written all over this superb blues/rock/prog outing, not only in Green's beautiful and fluid style of guitar work but also in the similar vocal style and tone. The similarity to classic period Spooky Tooth is born out by a wonderful rendition of "Better By You, Better Than Me". Like many Italian one-album bands of the time, this also leaves the listener wondering what might have been, had they made more albums. Musical audiences are a fickle lot. Countless awful bands achieve great longevity whilst many excellent and often far more able groups fall on stony ground and are consigned to the cess-pit of obscurity.
