Keith Moon thought this band were sensational after he saw them support
Alexis Korner in 1971, and their ex manager rightly thinks they were Pure Genius. Absolutely unique Progressive Stoner Rock, the music locks into a dark introspective vibe for 1 hour and never returns. Eastern tinged, the lead guitarist falls in spiralling electric noodling with hypnotic Drums taking the listeners mind into new and shadowlike prog dimensions. this is divisive music and absolutely unlike anything else ever issued, yet its still identifiable as pure 1970 Prog. Dark and Strange and Golden Eyed. Ideal whilst taking Class A Drugs or Ironing.
