"If you ever liked Caravan , Camel , Hatfield and the north and the Canterbury movement and you do not have this CD , surely you are missing something .Do not wait , get it , it was an impossible to find LP , and soon it will be out of print , this is your last chance.GREAT !"

This is a most unusual album.

"Although some of the melodies are repetitive, there's an amazing freshness and tranquility to this album as a whole that makes it one of my favorite recordings of the last thirty years or so. I didn't even know it was available on CD until today, and ordered it immediately. Sound quality is excellent throughout. As the other reviewer has noted, buy this one before it disappears."

Lost Canterbury star recording

"This is a gem - in nothing else, it marks the first appearance of the Penguin Cafe Orchestra, who appear throughout in their finest form (as per Hugebaby or Chartered Flight on MFTPC).



Perry was the bass player for Caravan in the "For girls" and "New Symphonia" recordings, and Jeffes orchestrated pieces for them. Geoff Richardson (also of Caravan and Penguin Cafe) play, while luminaries like Roger Glover (whom Perry knew from the road) and Rupert Hine and Morris Pert (co-members with Perry Quantum Jump) make their presence felt on occasion. Wonderful ambient recordings, anf spectacular sax and guitar from Italian Jazz-Rockers d'Anna and Rustici (Nova).



This makes it sound like a jumble, but it isn't. It stays away from self-indulgence holds together better than most concept albums. I was thrilled when it was released on CD, as someone "borrowed" my LP copy 20 years ago."
