The only album of this a little bit amateur-like band is an example for early progrock from the Netherlands with psych and jazz elements. The longer tracks dispose of sequences which have a jam-character. Especially track A-3 reminds on Amon Düül II-jams. Moreover, flute and guitar, which are the leading instruments, sound sometimes in a Krautrock-style. For example, the guitar-solo in B-2 is comparable with the floating, shrieking guitar-playing from Guru Guru. The vocals are rather funny because the singers have a marked Dutch accent. In track B-2 there is an electronic distortion of the voice. There are also other signs of a progressive character. Track B-3 uses a jew's harp and offers a jazz-like saxophone-solo. Altogether, the album is an interesting trial of a gifted group - unfortunately without any further traces.
