Notes: Group playing mainly instrumental tracks, that breathe the atmosphere of post ‘Flower Power’ positiveness and 70’s ‘All can happen’ mentality. Influences of Folk, Jazz, Pop and Gospel can be heard. The recordings were engineered by former ‘Light’ drummer Sjako van der Spelt. Despite not sounding sparkling in 2012 (time of writing), this album is worldwide considered the highest quality reachable for a homemade record from that period and copies have been sold for several hundreds of euros (Not kidding!!).
At the end of 2014 a Spanish (Catalan) label (Guerssen) reissued a remastered version of the album on LP and CD and put up a bandcamp account.
