Secret Oyster were a five piece Danish fusion/progressive supergroup of the 1970s, whose members came from the ranks of Burnin' Red Ivanhoe, Hurdy Gurdy and Coronarias Dans. This album, recorded in the fall of 1975, was the band's fourth and final album; the pressures of having recorded four albums in just over two years, touring constantly and being disappointed when the US branch Columbia broke their promise to the band to give them the same 'priority' treatment they had given to Weather Report, knocked the wind out of their sales and the band folded 18 months after this release, without recording another album.
Despite that sad winding down, this album is considered by many to be their pinnacle achievement of progressive jazz/rock and it was a favorite of mine for a number of years as well! Recommended!
