Another organ-heavy piece of complexity from these prog progenitors, sounding like a more-psychadelic take on their previous album. The songs are more tightly structures and less heavy, sounding downright Zombies-esque on a couple of tracks, but don't be fooled: this is still some pretty knotty, intense stuff, full of abrupt changes, extended solos, and complex melodic moves. In fact, this was about as close as prog and psychadelia ever got, before each careened off to blow minds by thundering down from the sky and misting up from the ground, respectively.
This is a good, solid prog album and an interesting hybrid, but the whole-hearted excess of Ars Longa Vita Brevis would probably give you a better representation of the burgeoning scene and a better overall listening experience 3.5/5
