Another British rarity. Released in 1971 on the Dawn label, this is the only known album from the British progressive group. Barry Ford was a member of Clancy in the mid-seventies, and Merger in the late seventies. It's a low-key release with above average guitar work. Just a soul / r'n'b / rock / blues rock formula, with minor incursions into jazz and hints of proto-prog. But the sound is strong, the musicians play cohesively, vocal is good and suitable for this style.
