The debut album from this band from Great Britain.
The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, percussion, vibraphone, marimba, bass, ebow and guitars.
Three guests added drums and vocals.
This band was a Gong side project that released four studio albums and a live album between 1995 and 2008. I got their first two album for review this summer.
Hansford Rowe, Benoit Moerlin and Allan Holdsworth is three of the members here. The music on this one hour long album is fusion.
...Which does not come as a surprise....
There is still some Gong-like whimsical Canterbury scene stuff here in the fusion. The band is very much true to the Gong ethos.
Allan Holdsworth's guitars are really smoking hot here. The vibraphones and marimbas are also smoking red hot here.
The result is a playful fusion album and a good album too. This is an album well worth checking out and essential if Gong and their jazz/fusion era floats your boat.
