I don't want to make it seem like I'm obsessed with late-70's prog rock or anything (hopefully the variety will become evident), but this one fires on all cylinders. Great artwork by Roger Dean, 3 songs spanning 2 sides (epic!!!), and once again, EDDY OFFORD. This was apparently recorded on a mobile recording rig that he made, set up at Chris Squire's (bass) home in Surrey. I love the idea of this intense music made in a pastoral country setting. Totally devoid of any songs under 9 minutes long, Atlantic released "Soon", an edit of the first track as a single. Nice try.
