Montreal-based Canadian progressive band. They released sole album in 1972 on the Good Noise Record label. Side 1 includes only one long(19'54")track entitled "Man Made" , which is very interesting, mixing progressive, classical and electronic music with spooky and dreamy organ passages, acidy guitarleads, flute solos, harsh vocals. Side 2 except "Keep On Moving" ,which utilises fast rhythms with horns and synthesizers contains more slow and melodic moments like "Country Company" and "Reflections" with a hypnotic mood. "Carnival" is a strong mid-tempo ballad, sounding like a combination of Tim Buckley and Tim Hardin, but with also harsh vocals. The cut called "Evolution", which is the album's highlight, features good rhythm and stunning lead guitar work with several similarities to Pink Floyd's music.
