- That's a very fine example of progressive rock from Japan. The guitar-work of Kimi Mizutani is excellent on every track, the most impressive ones are "Sail in the Sky", where Mizutani plays in the manner of the contemporary McLaughlin, and "Tell me what you saw", which is in Free Style and offers a cacophonous competition between guitar, piano and drums. Track 5 "One for Janis" affords Masahiko Satch the opportunity to produce some special effects on the Moog, the soft "Sabbath Day's Sable" operates with string arrangements and the closing "Way out" with female scat vocals in dialogue with guitar and organ. Maybe the album is no burner but guarantees a delightful listening.
