Bought a sealed old stock copy of this on a whim. Not disappointed. If you can find a NM copy of this record, there are some amazing tunes here from some absolute titans in jazz.

A disparate mix of progressive cock rock, measured space funk, avant-garde synth rock, and something akin to contemporary jazz (Taylor and Williams seem to be kindred spirits on closer.) Not essential, but nonetheless, interesting. Pressing is very good, with George Marino mastering.
