Angleterre / Allemagne -  space-progressif symphonique  -  ** 

 

 
Groupe anglais expatrié en allemagne, il joue un space rock heavy
psyché progressif vaporeux, fortement inspiré principalement par
  
Pink Floyd , mais aussi par  Camel , Hawkwind ,...
avec du mellotron et par moment des passages assez " musclés ".
Les années soixante-dix seront l'occasion de la publications de
quelques chefs-d'oeuvre, à l'image de " A Tab In The Ocean " (1973)
ou " Remember The Future " (1973).
Un groupe quelque peu oublié dans la grande histoire du progressif des 70's.
