This was the third of four albums released by this fusion band of the mid to late 70s, comprising Czech, Polish and German musicians. Their albums were released on Bacillus in Germany and even though they aren’t rare / expensive albums, they were little known and were mostly forgotten now; at least until this first-ever CD issue!
“Absolutely superb fusion, with nods to the masters (RTF, Weather Report, Holdsworth, Ponty) but very much of their own sound. Tempo changes that occur mid-track, beautiful keyboard solos (organs, synths, etc.) are all liberally sprinkled amidst late 70s proggish tendencies and some complex, artfully executed arrangements. This CD reissue sounds rad to boot. Here's hoping GAD will (re)map the entirety of the band's output on CD. Glorious stuff.”
