A very cool album that covers a lot of ground. It's first and foremost a showcase for a brilliant
keyboardist, Demis Visvikis, who later became an established classical composer. I'd hazard a
guess that he'd heard the basic works of Soft Machine, Egg, Mahavishnu and maybe Supersister, plus
a good dose of free jazz. Most of the second side segues together. It has a wide palette. Visvikis
uses the Mellotron in both expected and unconventional ways, and he's a wiz on the Rhodes and
acoustic piano. His rhythm section provides great support. The bassist plays both electric and
acoustic.
