Description/Reviews: 

Side ‘A’ opens with “Phrygian Youth”, a track that is deeply drenched into mid 70s Progressive Rock, becoming hard, then mellow, then dreamy, then sharp with blistering/shimmering electric guitar solos, then bluesy, then a marching Hard Rock beat enters, then Prog again, then the intriguing hot Hammond Organ enters, then the whole thing becomes mystically epic!

Description/Reviews: 

'Beteigeuze Part I' gets us under way and immediately we are immersed in a seventies-flavoured prog rock opus. The vocals are pretty much all harmonised (no one lead singer), but it is the instrumental passages that grab hold. Heavy on the retro keyboards it sounds as about authentic as you can gey without the use of a time machine. The track evolves into a lengthy jam that, although ostensibly prog rock, has enough psychedelic flashes and krautrock infused moments to keep an old head like me happy. What is striking however is that the band manage to keep it light and almost playful....
