Yes as it was back in the late 60s and early 70s you literally could get anything pressed and Vertigo were culprits of releasing some trash, this one is excellent. One of my personal favourites out of the entire Swirl catalogue. Heavy prog, jazzy at times, long indulgent tracks. Highly recommended, there was a single in the UK which wasnt issued here but left for the follow up album, however, the b side made it entitled "Fugue" all be it slightly edited. If you want something new and obscure to listen to get this, you won't be disappointed

Excellent early prog album that is artsy, creative, fun and extremely well arranged. The heavier, fuzzy psychedelic moments are great - the freak-outs are really tasteful and expressive - and the softer, baroque-like tracks are a pure joy to listen to! A must-listen, and, in my opinion, a contender for the best Vertigo album of that era.
