The third album from this band from Germany.
The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, strings, electric piano, organ, moog, keyboards, lyricon, saxophones and vocals.
Two guests added guitars and bass on one track.
The music on this three quarters of an hour long album is jazz with a lot of fusion influences.
Their music reminds me, as on their second album, which I reviewed some days ago in this blog, a lot of The Soft Machine on their Six and Seven albums.
Most instruments, with the exception of the drums and percussion, have long solos here on their medium-fast dynamic take on jazz. There is hardly any vocals here and they are only used as instruments.
There are a lot of interesting details here and the saxophones are very good.
This is one of those albums that makes me a lot more interested in jazz. Maybe because this album is a bit of a bridge between jazz and progressive rock.
The band released two more albums before they split up and I will try to find them and review them later this year.
This is a good album in it's own right.
